Tanweer Productions - Movie studio

Tanweer Pitching Days 

2023

 

Tanweer Productions, loyal to its vision towards creating and producing content for cinema and television, introduces the 2nd Tanweer Pitching Days program. It is an open call limited to fiction, and more specifically, to script submissions: a) for feature films, and b) for TV series.

 

This open call is not a competition, but a means to find talented scriptwriters and create strong original stories, appealing to audiences both in Greece and abroad.

 

Scripts must be submitted before the application deadline on the 31st of January 2023, by 23.59, through the form that may be found on Tanweer Productions’ web page https://tanweerproductions.com/pitching-days/

 

The scripts received will be assessed by the script readers of Tanweer Productions, and all participants will be notified via personal e-mail regarding the status of their proposal. The most interesting projects will be invited to participate and pitch their scripts during the Tanweer Pitching Days forum which will take place in May 2023, in Athens. The selected projects will be notified in due time. The working language of the forum is Greek, but there is also the possibility of pitching in the English language in cases of English-speaking creators.

 

Any questions regarding this open call should be addressed to the following email:  pitchingdays@tanweer.info
