GFF – ANIMATIC
March 2 @ 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
Glasgow Film Festival: Animatic, now in its third year, is an innovative talent development lab for Scottish-based creatives and studios, designed to help develop animated short films, feature films, or TV series ideas for an international audience.
Made possible with funding from the Scottish Government Festivals EXPO Fund through Creative Scotland, 15 projects have been selected for the third edition of GFF’s innovative talent lab. The chosen projects will take part in a six-month training programme that includes sessions, meetings and workshops delivered by executives from leading animation and screen organisations that include Netflix, BFI, Aardman Animations, Screen Scotland, and Mackinnon & Saunders. Brenda Chapman (Oscar-winning director of Brave, and Head of Story for The Lion King), Oscar-nominated director Jonas Poher Rasmussen (Flee), and Julie Lockhart (co-founder of Locksmith Animation) will also participate in the lab’s programme of events.
The lab will culminate in a Live Pitch, where participants will present their projects to an expert panel.
Following the Live Pitch, the panelists will choose their favourite pitches, with the following awards:
Best Short Pitch – £1,500
Best TV Series Pitch – £3,000 (Sponsorship from Astley Baker Davies.)
Best Features Pitch – £6,000
