Jun 30, 2020

On July 9th 2020, at the end of the second session of First Cut+ at Karlovy Vary IFF Eastern Promises, the winner of a brand-new award will be revealed.

Three companies have joined forces to offer the First Cut+ Award to one of the 8 selected projects, consisting in various promotional services:

L’Avventura Studio offers an event-oriented recommendation, with a set of ideas that can be reproduced by the distributor/sales agent/producer.

WOLF Consultants offers a consultation on how to translate the positioning of the finished film for the international press book, with a special focus on key texts including logline, synopsis, director’s note and interview.

Tiramisu offers consultancy on trailer and poster.
