One-one-one online meetings were held from November 30 to December 14, 2020 to select production partners.

Meeting Request Launch

On November 25, 2020 the search for partners began. Filmmakers and broadcasters who were interested in working with one another were able to exchange requests for meetings.

Communicating through the Chat Room

Participants can log in to the DocCross Asia website and click the "Meeting Request" button on the project details page to submit their request. They can also communicate directly with one another using the Chat Room.
The Chat Room can also be used to set and adjust initial meeting dates as well as follow up meetings.

Meeting schedule

The schedule for one-on-one meetings was adjusted based on meeting requests between November 30 to December 14. Each online meeting lasted an hour.

Meeting Results

In response to requests from filmmakers from the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Vietnam, one-on-one meetings with the four broadcasters were held. DocCross Asia Team staff also participated in the meetings. Different perspectives and unexpected ideas were suggested by filmmakers, making for stimulating encounters that differed from the kinds of proposal meetings that Japanese broadcasters normally experience.
