The Forum RIDM is proud to announce the 12th edition of the First Pitch, a key activity held every year prior to RIDM’s professional market. These one-on-one meetings will allow a group of emerging Quebec filmmakers to meet and network with established producers from Quebec’s documentary industry. The event will take place over two intensive days, a training session on September 23 and the pitching session on September 30.
