JETS Co-Production Initiative
Deadline: December 20, 2018
The groundbreaking initiative aims to connect early-career filmmakers from Europe and North America with producers, sales agents and industry decision-makers.
The acronym stands for Junior Entertainment Talent Slate, and will bring first-, second- and third-time feature filmmakers into contact with Canadian, German, Irish, Finnish, Norwegian, British and American producers, sales agents, and finance and distribution companies, during a co-production pitching session to be held at the next edition of the Berlin International Film Festival.
The JETS programme launched by North American and European film bodies will select 20-24 projects proposed by emerging filmmakers based in Canada, Ireland, Germany, Finland, Norway and the UK. The team must be in the first six years of their career, with the exception of the producer (who must have up to ten years of experience in the industry and a maximum of two feature-film credits).
All eligible projects must be fiction films in development or at the financing stage, and must have a duration of at least 80 minutes.
