FDCP PROJECT MARKET
For the first time in 2019, the Film Industry Conference featured the FDCP Project Market to encourage Filipino filmmakers to create more collaborations, both locally and internationally, especially with ASEAN partners, so they may fully assess and maximize platforms for the extensive development of projects even before its completion, thereby increasing their films’ quality and premium.
The Project Market curated fifteen (15) film projects and filmmakers from the Philippines and Southeast Asia and provided them the platform to explore collaborations through one-on-one meetings and networking events with decision-makers made up of film producers, funds, investors, and film service companies.
Ten (10) Filipino projects in development and five (5) ASEAN film projects were showcased to over thirty (30) decision-makers.
