TAC Opens Call for Pitch THIS! Program

OTTAWA: The Ottawa International Animation Festival’s Television Animation Conference (TAC) is accepting proposals for its 2011 Pitch THIS! program, presented by 9 Story Entertainment.

This year’s event will be held at the Fairmont Château Laurier on September 21 and 22, the first two days of the festival. Pitch THIS! provides producers the opportunity to present a new project to the TAC audience, which includes more than 350 potential buyers, financiers, partners and industry leaders. Two ideas will be selected by the TAC committee for a chance to be presented in front of the conference’s panel of broadcasters and industry leaders for 10 minutes. Both producers and audience members will receive feedback from a panel of broadcasters.

The deadline for entries is August 1. Selected proposals will receive a complementary pass to TAC.
