The <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative Catalyst Award is an<br />

award of <strong>up</strong> to 5,000 euros that provides<br />

resources to filmmakers in the early stages<br />

of documentary films, enabling filmmakers<br />

from across the globe to create proofof-concept<br />

trailers for their film. These<br />

trailers allow filmmakers to raise funds<br />

for completing their films, featuring them<br />

on festivals, in cinemas and on DVD and TV,<br />

reaching strategic audiences locally and<br />

globally and addressing <strong>PUMA</strong>Vision’s core<br />

themes.<br />

In the past two years, 50 Catalyst Awards<br />

of 5,000 euros each were awarded to filmmakers.<br />

Getting filmmakers to the stories that matter,<br />

the <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative Mobility Awards are<br />

awarded to documentary filmmakers at all<br />

stages of the production process to enable<br />

them to travel to locations during filming<br />

or after completion for audience engagement.<br />

Unlike the Catalyst Awards, there is<br />

no open call for the <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative Mobility<br />

Awards. Instead, film projects are proposed<br />

for a <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative Mobility Award<br />

where an award could provide critical strategic<br />

s<strong>up</strong>port for the film team, and the<br />

award as such primarily happens at public<br />

film forums, for example Good Pitch, to<br />

maximize the impact.<br />

DRAGONSlAYER<br />

The skateboarding documentary ‘Dragonslayer’<br />

is a project that received early funding<br />

from <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative through a <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative<br />

Catalyst Award and numerous <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative<br />

Mobility Awards. Directed by Tristan Patterson<br />

and produced by John Baker, this film tells the<br />

story of life of a lost kid falling in love in the<br />

suburbs of Fullerton, California.<br />

After picking <strong>up</strong> awards at the prestigious<br />

SXSW and Hot Docs festivals, ‘Dragonslayer’<br />

screened at over 50 film festivals worldwide<br />

and has been distributed in countries including<br />

US, UK, Canada, Israel and Australia. Dragonslayer<br />

in May 2012 also premiered on Brazil’s<br />

Sónar festival in Sao Pãulo. <strong>PUMA</strong> had been<br />

asked to submit a film to the festival, in recognition<br />

of our <strong>PUMA</strong>.Creative program.
