The Pixel Market Projects

The 8th Power to the Pixel: The Cross-Media Forum 7-10 October 2014
in association with the 58th BFI London Film Festival

Selected from over 100 entries, we’re delighted to introduce the 32 teams chosen to present their projects at this year’s Pixel Market! Out of these 32 projects eight teams were selected to battle it out at The Pixel Market Finance Forum (7 Oct) where they presented their projects to a panel of leading financiers and decision-makers. All 32 projects attended The Pixel Market Meetings (8 Oct), a day of 1-2-1 meetings with over 100 financiers, distributors and potential creative partners.

Without further ado, please welcome The Pixel Market projects of 2014:
