PITCH STOP is Cinema Total’s alternative pitch event. It includes a workshop and individual
consultations, as well as a public pitch. Instead of a conventional pitch event, Cinema Total’s event
focuses on personalised guidance and professional advice offered by notable film professionals.

Sundance Filmmakers Lab), Stefan Laudyn (Director, Warsaw Film Festival), Brigitta Manthey
(Funding Advisor, Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg), Charlotte Mickie (Executive Vice
President, eOne Films International), Anthony Muir (Senior Executive International Co-
Productions, Film i Väst), Simon Perry (President Ateliers du Cinéma Européen (ACE) and Ewa
Puszczyńska (Producer/Head of Development, Opus Film).

Pitch Stop addresses directors who already have made a first feature, or an acclaimed short film, and their producers. The projects presented must be original fiction features and still at a stage in their development in which they can bene"t from advice.

Please note: only projects whose directors will be attending will be selected!
