INCUBATOR

For the first time Expresión en Corto will be launching the INCUBATOR project, focused on nurturing and developing the next generation of Mexican producers and international filmmakers. In direct response to the existing lack of support and funds for cinematographic projects in the early stages of development and pre-production, INCUBATOR aims to fill in the gap that exists between projects that are in development to the time they are ready to be formally pitched within a festival film market (such as the International Pitching Market) or during a professional business meeting.

INCUBATOR extends an invitation to the Cinéfondation Residence Laureates participating in MexiCannes, as well as all Mexican and international filmmakers selected for competition in Expresión en Corto 2010, to attend conferences imparted by established industry professionals who will touch upon topics such as packaging, financing, production, distribution, sales, press, promotion and television. These instructive conferences are organized to illustrate the process by which a project in need of financing is prepared and brought to a financier or co-producer.
Complimentary to the conferences, participants will take part in one-on-one advising sessions, during which they will meet personally with industry delegates and receive advice on their own specific feature film projects. In these conferences and advising sessions, experts from the industry will give the novice producers tools on how to develop and present their projects professionally.
