The pitching forum, Pulse was told, will hold in partnership with the Independent Television Producers Association of Nigeria, ITPAN.
In a statement by the organizers, young and old documentary filmmakers “will be given opportunity to present their non-fictional film project ideas with a special focus on social/cultural developments in and around Africa before a selection panel. The proposed pitching forum seeks to grow and encourage a spirited generation of factual filmmakers.”
