What we're looking for from Ready, Steady, Pitch!
Sky Original Film are looking for broad, commercial films that appeal to a mainstream audience. Our preferred genres are action, thriller, sci-fi, comedy and family. We are looking for films with a large sense of scale and high concept ideas that can stand out from the crowd. We also look for a small number of authored prestige films from established film makers. We can come on board a project at any stage and so are looking to develop, acquire or equity finance films.
