Paris, 25 February 2020 - MIPTV today announces the 23 projects selected for In Development, the gateway to international financing and strategic partnerships.
Launched in 2018, In Development responds to the rapid growth in demand for exclusive original programming and for identifying projects at the development stage. It gives MIPTV attendees access to the event's unrivalled community of international decision-makers across all genres. It provides an international platform for producers looking to finance their international projects and for executives involved in pre-sales, co-financing, co-production and programming to discover these shows and establish development and production partnerships.
The Official Selection features three sections. The Drama Series Pitch sees established producers present a diverse range of high-end, original fiction projects seeking financing and/or co-production partners. The Creative Talent Pitch involves independent creators/producers presenting an original scripted and serialised creative concept drawn from a diverse range of media (web series, social media stories, podcasts, YouTube channels ) to be developed and/or adapted as scripted series. The Kids Series Pitch presents the most promising projects from creators and producers of animation and live action series for kids of all ages.
IN DEVELOPMENT OFFICIAL SELECTIONS:
DRAMA SERIES PITCH (12 projects)
The selection highlights talented independent producers presenting original projects that truly target the marketplace and clearly take into account the expectations of an international audience.
