Behind the scenes
INTRODUCTION TO THE EVENT
Imagine having a night in a completely different world, a scary world, to be more exact. This is exactly what you can do on the 1st of October at the Breda Film Festival. You will forget all the problems of daily life and you can completely immerse yourself in the world of horror movies. The best classical and new movies will be shown during a full-evening event taking place at the Chassé Theatre in Breda, The Netherlands. The festival is accessible to everyone from everywhere around the world that loves horror movies.
The event will feature special guests such as top-class actor Johnny Depp and will premiere the best new movies from Dimension Films. And if that was not enough already, also the best movie production companies will explain to you all their secrets when it comes to producing horror movies. It will be an unforgettable night that you do not want to miss!
The Breda Film Festival is organised by students that share the same passion and love for movies (and popcorn, to be honest). These people met each other at the Leisure & Events study of Breda University of Applied Sciences. On the first day they were colleagues, now they are friends. Because why would you watch a movie alone if you can do it together? This formed the basis for the Breda Film Festival and nowadays this event is still organised by the same people. But they would not be able to do it without the visitors, volunteers, employees and partners. We do it all together.
We hope to personally welcome you to the Horror edition on the 1st of October in the Chassé Theatre!

The Festival started last year with the mission to bring professionals in the film industry closer to general cinema visitors. The program also includes workshops, meet and greets and other small events.
Project Overview
The festival awaits 2000 visitors for a one-day event during which visitors get to watch movies in 2 rounds. In each round, they can choose from 3 movie options. This year’s theme is Horror.
The project we are currently accepting proposals is the following:
We are looking for catering partners who can provide several possibilities for our guests with specific dietician requests, but also who can work among SDGs since Breda Film Festival has been set to be among the most sustainable festivals in Western Europe.
We would like our catering partner to be able to provide for both public and VIP guests at the same time, taking different budgets into account.
Project Goals
The goals of this project include:

· This year the festival would like to give public and VIP visitors the opportunity to also receive a dinner option and not only the standard cinema catering options.
· For our VIP guests, the dinner is included in their tickets, however, visitors with general tickets are allowed to purchase their dinner at the venue.
· The project in this case is to present a caterer to our visitors who fulfil the requirements of not only the organizers of the Breda Film festival but also our general public audience in terms of diner options.
· When sending in a Proposal we would like to ask the Applier to think of 3 different options of menus including a main course and a small dessert. Each menu is supposed to have a vegan and allergy-friendly option. Meaning that Appliers are expected to give 3 options of normal menu, 3 options of vegan and 3 options of allergy-friendly meals but within 3 concepts of menus.

· The caterer should think of sustainable ways of cutlery and plates, keeping the general regulations and connecting SDGs in mind.
· Loading items in and out of the venue is connected to tight 20-minute time schedules which have to be followed by the Applier winning the opportunity.
Budget Constraints
The budget of the VIP catering is 1500€ concerning the low number of VIP guests, which currently is estimated at 150-180 people.
The Budget for the General catering is not given however an estimated portion price has to be included for further evaluation. This should include the costs per portion and the profit margin if any as well.

What We’re Looking For in Potential Vendors

The organization wishes to have a partner for this task who can bring on a creative, sustainable and last but not least theme-fitting idea about the menu, setting and workforce as well.
Breda Film Festival supports gender and pay equality and wishes to also find a partner in these guidelines in the future caterer of the festival.
Having a positive experience with our caterer partner may result in future long-term commitment opportunities, as Breda Film Festival plans on growing in the following years. We would like our future stakeholders to be able to keep this in mind as well when applying.

SPONSOR: PATHÉ
Movie enthusiasts bring Hollywood stars to Chassé with Pathé
Dear Pathé Team,
In connection of this years “Breda Film Festival” which will be hosted at Chassé theatre in Breda, we are looking for a sponsor for our annual event.
Our team of movie enthusiasts have hosted many film festivals in the past, but never as big as the one coming up.
For this years film festival we decided to go “horror”. In this Octobers horror edition we want to go above and beyond our visitors expectations and need your help to do so.
During our eight hour event, held on the first of October, starting at 4p.m and ending at 12 p.m., we want to stream the classics of horror movie history from “Sleepy Hollow” to “The Women in Black”.
To bring international awareness to our festival we invited two of the best known Hollywood actors and stars of the movies, Johny Depp and Daniel Radcliffe.
By having these extremely well know actors attend our, not yet, internationally well known festival, not only us as a festival organization, but more even the location of Chassé, and our sponsor will gain huge international recognition and awareness.
Our festivals are annual festivals, getting bigger and bigger every year. By having Pathé as a partner and sponsor we can go big and beyond together and work on annual film events in the future with more international Hollywood stars.
We expect around 1500 visitors to our this years horror edition. In order for our guests to be well taken care of we kindly ask for your help and assistance of your catering service to provide our guests with dinner styled finger foods, snacks for the movies and drinks to go along with the foods.
We would wish for simple finger foods our guests can grab between the movies and carry in their handy whilst talking to other visitors.
By working together with us as a company for this event we can promise international recognition, more visitors for the future and a hopefully long lasting partnership with “Breda Film Festival”.
Thank you for taking your time to read this email of request of sponsorship and the consideration of working with us.
Yours sincerely,
Larissa Binz
