Paris 2012 Edition

US in Progress Paris will take place during the first edition of the Champs Elysées Film Festival in Paris, on June 7-10 2012.
The programme will present 4 US indie films in post-production to European buyers in order to achieve completion and to foster the circulation and distribution of American indie films in Europe. The event will take form of two days of intense exclusive screenings (behind closed doors, for registered guests only) and one-to-one meetings.

We are excited to announce our selection for the second edition of US in Progress :
