Good Pitch New York

A partnership between The Channel 4 BRITDOC Foundation and The Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program, the Good Pitch has been gaining momentum since the first international event in 2009.

 

Running several times throughout the year in the U.S. and Europe, as both standalone events and in conjunction with bespoke conferences and film festivals, it brings together specially selected foundations, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, broadcasters and potential corporate and brand partners to form powerful alliances around groundbreaking films.

 

Six to eight filmmaking teams pitch their film and associated outreach campaign to the assembled audience with the aim of creating a unique coalition around each film to maximise its impact and influence.

 

To date, more than 90 documentary projects have been presented at Good Pitch events in London, Oxford, New York, Washington D.C., Toronto, San Francisco and Johannesburg. In that time more than 1500 organisations have attended – varied organisations from different sectors all bringing something unique to the table: expert knowledge, research and archives, membership networks and mailing lists, campaigning and lobbying expertise and access to policymakers as well as production and outreach funding. Together they make powerful allies.
