2016 is SOLD OUT – We are very sorry but due to a high volume of responses, we are no longer selling access to these meetings.
New to the festival this year, Only In New York meetings take place November 14-17, 2016, from the hours of 11:30 am – 3:30 pm at Cinepolis Chelsea. This program features four days of networking sessions that allow filmmakers to get face time with key decision makers in the worlds of financing, postproduction, distribution, festival programming and more. The meetings are a chance for filmmakers to sit in intimate groups (maximum 4 people) with decision makers for a 20 minute Q&A session. This isn’t a pitch forum but instead, a chance for making introductions.
To attend OINY, you must purchase an All Access Pass or DOC NYC PRO + OINY Upgrade Pass. Passholders will submit their requests for meetings and be matched on a first come, first served basis. Each passholder will be guaranteed 3 meetings per day with the ability to obtain more based on availability. Passes are limited in order to ensure a quality environment for networking.
Industry guests include representatives from HBO Documentary Films, Discovery, Ford Foundation, Vulcan Productions, Picture Motion, and A&E IndieFilms. Revisit this page daily as additional participants will be announced.
