Power to the Pixel - The Pixel Market

Day 3 - Thursday 14th October

The Pixel Market was a day of hook-ups and meetings. I was there as part of the Pixel Lab contingent along with other teams from the Pixel Pitch finalists and shortlist. We all had the chance to meet with experienced practitioners, producers and commissioners of transmedia productions.

It was great to catch up with the rest of my group from the Pixel Lab. For me the Lab had been such an intensive course that there was a real bond between us.

I should mention them here:

Rob Alexander - The Bow Project
Lena Thiele - Farewell Comrades!
Gabriel Festoc – Clandestino

Look out for their projects.

Brian Newman was our group leader. Great guy. He is very sharp and smart and word-up to him. Check his blog here

Of course I was here specifically to pitch The Alexander Wilson Project.

My meetings:

Michelle Kass - Literary agent
Mickael Ivorra - Orange France
Iain Tweedale - BBC Wales
Pasa Mustafa - Endemol UK
David Varela - nDreams
Morgan Petrie - Creative Scotland

Most of these went very well. There wasn't a whole lot of business to do - it was quite informal but some great leads. For the most part it was just great to bounce around ideas for AWP with people who understand what we're trying to produce and have useful input on that.

So all in all it was great - tiring, intensive and brilliant. Thanks to NFM for providing a contribution towards my attendance and thanks to everyone at PTTP for making it such a valuable and memorable experience.

Power to the Pixel have instigated a great new website resource called the Pixel Report where you can find articles and reference materials and get on the list for a report from the London Forum Think Tank.
