Live from Cartoon Forum

Or, perhaps not live, but still a report from within.
We pitched Jack & Pedro yesterday, and it looked like this:

It was great fun and people were really interested. We'll see what that leads too.

The Cartoon Forum is really huge, with 700 people participating. Before the pitching sessions, all are gathered to watch the trailers for the upcoming pitches.

It is also important to look cool, which we did in the oufits that Anna created for us.

In this picture is from the left Staffan Erlandsson (director and animator), Francy Suntinger (producer) and Jan Vierth (writer).

In between pitches there is a lounge for informal meetings and networking, where you can also buy food and beverages at ridiculously high Norwegian costs.


There are also social events, like a boat trip to the fjords. Which was cool! It felt like going into Mordor.


That's all for this report. We will stay here two more days, to watch pitches and network with the animation industry. Wish us luck!
