PITCHES
This year Final Cut for Real will be pitching three projects.
Producer Monica Hellström will pitch Forget Me Not with director Sun-Hee Engelstoft at the Rough Cut Pitch. Most recently winning Best Nordic Pitch at Doc Port Incheon in South Korea, the film follows three pregnant and unmarried women and their process towards the difficult and painful decision of weather to keep their baby or to give it away for adoption.
