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.
