American Reality + Doc Fest - Los Angeles

We're looking for the next great reality show or documentary! Filmed, in production or pre-production. Winning projects will be brought to top markets, events and fests. Why are fees so LOW? We're looking for good projects to take to our top industry contacts and execs with the sole intention of helping you SELL them. This isn't about submission fees, this is about a BIG sale for you at leading networks and platforms. As TV platforms rush to find content to provide viewers during our social distancing/stay-at-home world, they're up against a wall as productions of all kinds have been shut down. They NEED content bad! Our director has optioned a couple reality shows and runs a few film fests. His network of contacts has reached out for help in these unique times. These companies have done shows for all the major channels, from Amazon to Vice, HBO to Netflix. All projects will be considered for an immediate pitch to execs and agents based on their current need and directives. The Fest (and Kado) acting as Co-Producer (or agreed upon title) for selected projects. By submitting you agree to the fest (and Kado) pitching your project for potential sale, co-production or other agreed upon development. Standard industry sales commissions agreed upon by submitting. No commissions if a sale is not made. Winning projects will also be part of our promotional and on-site initiatives at American Film Market, Cannes, MIPTV, RealScreen and Toronto International Film Festival. (when back in-person) Submissions open now. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ARDF fills the need for bringing quality independent film and TV to industry executives and agents Ran by filmmakers and TV producers with a recognized and notable track record, ARDF is going to work hard to get your project sold, picked up or optioned.
