What we're looking for from Ready, Steady, Pitch!
Charades' lineup is eclectic and director-driven. We look for projects from upcoming talents or experienced directors which we can push to A-festivals, whichever genre they might be. We have experience working with a wide range of projects, from Japanese anime to French comedies, foreign language arthouse or horror films.
