UPCOMING

Call for 2025 MIPCOM Picks submissions is open.

Summer is in full swing, and that means it’s time once again to submit clips and trailers for consideration for Realscreen‘s upcoming MIPCOM Picks feature, which will appear online here at Realscreen.com in advance of the Cannes content confab.

But there’s no need to panic (yet), as we will accept submissions until Wednesday, August 27.

In Realscreen‘s MIPCOM Picks, our editorial team selects several “can’t miss” non-fiction projects making their way to the market for the first time in filmed form.

Women-focused accelerator program.

Calling all women creators!

Administered by Realscreen, Propelle is a women-focused accelerator program launched in partnership with Abby Greensfelder’s Everywoman Studios (EWS). The goal of the program is to further develop the careers of up-and-coming women creators by pairing them with women-owned production companies and women CEOs for project workshopping and mentoring of an unscripted or documentary content idea. With this program, women creators gain access to an established production company and a network of industry contacts, while learning how to develop ideas so that they are pitch ready and sellable.

The entries will open in August.
