Banff is Cyberpitching at Sharing Stories

This year’s Sharing Stories, an international tv and new media coproduction conference taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland, Nov. 12-14, will offer producers a chance to Cyberpitch their way to one of three £5,000 ($14,425) prizes.

An initiative of the Banff Centre and the Banff Television Festival, the Cyberpitch session will give a few producers a chance to pitch their tv and new media projects in three categories: factual, art and culture, and interactive drama. The winners will be announced at the closing sessions of the conference and each will receive £5,000 in development capital.

The Cyberpitch sessions will be chaired by the Banff Centre’s Sara Diamond and produced with the bbc, with another sponsor still to be announced.
