My SDI

The Edinburgh Pitch is Scotland’s only public pitching forum. The event is aimed at international independent filmmakers and production companies raising finance for ambitious and urgent feature documentaries in late development, production or post-production. This flagship event brings together key industry decision-makers and emerging talent for a day of live pitches, networking, and discovery.
