Docs 360 is a 9-month development programme and competition for documentary filmmakers who want to use cross-platform strategies to develop, finance, market and distribute their film.
They are inviting applications for the programme from documentary filmmakers or teams (directors / producers) between 20 June – 31 August 2010 (please note – APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 31 AUGUST 2010).
During this time they will also be running the 360 Sessions – workshops looking at how to manage a cross-platform campaign – beginning at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 19 – 20 June (see Bonus / Twitter for more details on these workshops).
After the application deadline, ten projects from each nation (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) will be short-listed. After further assessment two teams from each nation will be selected to take part in a 9-month programme of remote mentoring from a number of leading online, social media and cross-platform experts to help them perfect their strategies.
The final 8 teams will present their projects and online strategies at Berlin Film Festival in February 2011 and to a select group of financiers, sales agents, distributors and ad agencies in London in May 2011.
The winning team will receive £ 5,000 towards the completion of their film plus £ 20,000 worth of digital marketing support.
