The U.S. Features in Development section will offer fiction feature films at the script stage the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Gotham Week Project Market. Over the course of the Project Market, selected filmmakers are invited to introduce their new works in development to hundreds of industry representatives from companies such as A24, Archer Gray, Kickstarter, IFC Films, MUBI, NEON, Park Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics, Sundance Institute, SFFilm, Topic Studios, WME, and more.
