EE Media Market 2027

Pitch
Sessions.

Prepare the project. Present it clearly. Create the next conversation.

Pitching is more than
one room and one moment.

EE Media Market gives participants a route to prepare before they present: practical training, live online sessions, focused feedback opportunities and Market Week pitch sessions. Each format is designed around the project, the audience and the commercial objective behind the conversation.

Different rooms.
Different pitch opportunities.

A first-time filmmaker, a producer with a finance-ready feature and a creator with a microdrama concept do not need the same pitch format. The EE programme makes room for each stage.

Pitch Training
& Practice

Build the pitch before you are placed in front of anyone. These sessions focus on the clarity of the project, the commercial positioning and the exact outcome you want from a conversation.

  • How to frame a film, series, microdrama, animation project or IP
  • Pitch deck, financing position, comparable titles and audience
  • How to explain what you need without overloading the room
  • Practice presenting, receiving questions and refining the ask

Live Online
Pitch Sessions

Live online sessions give registered participants an opportunity to present from wherever they are, build confidence and join the market conversation before travelling to Côte d’Azur.

  • Scheduled live pitch opportunities through the EE Market Network
  • Sessions organised by format, project stage and available capacity
  • Opportunity to receive practical feedback on clarity, materials and next steps
  • Available to registered EE Media Market participants
Digital Market Pass, Market Week Pass and Market Week Plus include access to the online programme.

Open Market Week
Pitch Sessions

Live in-person pitch sessions during EE Media Market Week bring selected projects into a real market setting: a visible live presentation, industry audience and a reason for the conversation to continue after the room.

  • Live in Côte d’Azur during EE Media Market Week, 13–16 October 2027
  • Project categories may include film, series, microdrama, animation and IP
  • Presentation opportunities scheduled by programme format and capacity
  • Built for real questions, follow-up and commercial next steps
Live Market Week Pitch Sessions require a Market Week Pass or Market Week Plus.

Focused
Pitch Rooms

Some projects need a more concentrated room: fewer people, a clearer purpose and enough time to discuss materials, readiness and possible next moves in depth.

  • Smaller pitch and feedback conversations
  • Potential focus on financing, packaging, sales, distribution or platform fit
  • Designed around relevance rather than random access
  • Participation depends on project fit, programme design and available capacity

Completed Film
& Showcase Route

A completed project has a different need from a project seeking finance. EE can direct completed films toward showcase, screening, sales, platform, audience or distribution conversations rather than forcing every title into the same pitch model.

  • Commercial positioning for a completed film or available catalogue title
  • Online Market showcase opportunities
  • Route into screening, sales, distribution or audience-building conversations
  • Clearer materials and a practical next-step strategy

What can be pitched.

The programme recognises that screen projects arrive in many forms, each with a different commercial route.

Feature Films

Development, financing, packaging, sales, distribution and completed-film opportunities.

Series & TV

Series concepts, pilots, packages, audience positioning and platform conversations.

Microdrama & Mobile

Vertical storytelling, mobile-first formats, short-form content and emerging platforms.

Animation

Animated film, series, family content, international co-production and format development.

Books, Games & IP

Adaptable IP, underlying rights, transmedia opportunities and screen-development pathways.

Career Opportunities

Selected creative and industry-facing opportunities that need a clear professional presentation.

Bring a project
that is ready to speak.

The strongest pitch does not attempt to explain everything. It makes the right person understand the project, its potential and the next conversation worth having. EE preparation is built around making that possible before Market Week.

  • A clear logline and project summary
  • The right deck or presentation materials
  • Budget range and current financing position
  • Comparable titles, audience and commercial positioning
  • Rights position and what is available
  • A specific objective: financing, sales, distribution, partnership, platform or career route
  • A realistic next step after the conversation
