Ove Rishøj Jensen of Copenhagen-based Paradiddle Pictures/DocCelerator underlined the imminent September 1 deadline for the upcoming DocCeleratorPitch development program running online September 27-29, as well as the September 30 deadline for the DocCeleratorRoughCut online editing and distribution workshop (October 27-28).
DocCeleratorPitch: September 27-29. Deadline: September 1, 2021
DocCeleratorPitch is a 3-day online documentary pitch and development program aimed at docmakers looking to optimize funding opportunities for their projects. The workshop looks to ready projects for pitching and presentations to funders, investors, broadcasters and distributors as well as create realistic market expectations.
DocCeleratorRoughCut: October 27-28. Deadline: September 30, 2021.
DocCeleratorRoughCut is an online editing and distribution workshop for docmakers looking for input into their rough cut and distribution plan. The workshop looks to help define the structural narrative of the project rough cuts and create the right strategy for festival distribution and international sales.
Both events are run by Geoffrey Smith and Ove Rishøj Jensen.
DocCelerator offers a series of workshops for documentary makers “wanting a clearer focus for their creative development and input about market opportunities for their projects in development.”

All the DocCelerator formats comprise online project-based workshops of 2-3 days duration and accommodate 4-6 selected project teams (depending on the format).
“The online DocCelerator format is such an effective set-up for documentary makers to achieve fast, inexpensive and useful progress for their projects. Two days with full focus on one project, with no time, energy or money spend on traveling,” Rishøj Jensen told Business Doc Europe in February 2021.
“The participants like this short but effective boost to their projects, which they get from taking part. During two days, their stories becomes much more focused and they realize that this focus saves them a lot of time and money in the production and editing,” he added.
