About the Project Market
The Gotham Week Project Market is a meetings-driven forum connecting new fiction and documentary projects in development, production, or post-production to key industry executives interested in identifying feature-length, episodic, and audio projects for development, financing, or distribution.
In addition to opportunities for feedback and pitching, artists who participate in the Project Market often walk away with career-spanning relationships with distributors, financiers, production companies, festival programmers, sales and talent agents, collaborators, and others. These invaluable connections continue well beyond the five days of Gotham Week.
Creators and industry may apply to participate in the following sections of the Project Market.
