Pitching on the Croisette for “Framed”

12 May 2003

At this years Cannes Film Festival, the UK Film council kindly laid on a pitching competition for film makers throughout Great Britain.

From each of the eight regions, two projects were selected to be pitched to an audience of Film Council executives, film financiers (including the high-powered head of Alliance Atlantis, Alan Harris) and filmmakers.

Steve Trimingham’s project “Framed” was selected to pitch for the region along with Leigh’s project “Big Stella, Little Stella”.

“The pitching itself was three very rigorously timed minutes of selling of the concept and characters in Framed and an audience of about sixty people. It made the process nerve-wracking, but enjoyable” said Steve.

“Congratulations to Ann on winning the pitch competition and I wish her all the luck for the future. It’s nice to see someone from the region getting the recognition and opportunity to move their project forward”.
