Young Horizons Industry Announce ‘Project Pool & Media Pool’ Selection for 2025
Skwigly
Apart from having a possibility to promote the project and connect with potential partners, thanks to our partnership with PFX, creators behind the selected projects from this section will have a chance to win the PFX award. You can read about it at the end of this article.
Project Pool was created to give more visibility and opportunities to filmmakers to help them find potential partners and gain feedback without pitching their projects on stage. This is a perfect place to discover new projects from very early stages to almost finished during a one-to-one conversation with its creators.
Based on the submissions and increasing interest from the market we decided to open a new section: Media Pool for transmedia projects, apps and tools.
Book a meeting with Project Pool and Media Pool participants
Each project in this section will get its own table for 1:1 meetings with potential partners.
We encourage you to schedule a meeting with the creators selected for both sections. The meeting system will open in September on our platform. To book a meeting, you need to have an accreditation.
