Results from IFP
From the Filmmaker magazine e-newsletter, “IFP has announced a number of sales and financing deals which took place at – or immediately following – this year’s IFP Market. Bari Pearlman sold US distribution rights for her documentary feature Daughters of Wisdom to Seventh Art Releasing. Danae Elon pre-sold her documentary The Evil Tongue to Finnish public television. Canadian public broadcaster CBC Newsworld announced that it made pre-sale offers, and is currently in discussions with, three of this year’s documentary works-in-progress, including Goold’s Gold by Tucker Capps and Ryan Sevy, Cornered by Eric Drath, and If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front, by Marshall Curry and Sam Cullman. Finally, San Francisco-based Chicken & Egg Pictures has also awarded completion grants of $10,000 each to three female documentary filmmakers. The awarded projects included Dee Rees’s Eventual Salvation, Luisa Dantas’s Land of Opportunity: The New New Orleans, and Yolanda Pividal’s Tijuana Nada Más.” I thought you might like to hear some of the results since I was pitching the Market pretty hard.
