Last April, with the help of Philippe Moins (Director of the Festival Anima – Belgium), from René Broca (Consultant – France) and Jan Van Rijsselberghe (Creative Director Animator – Belgium), the specialists of the three funds selected 6 projects which each received a 25.000 € funding to develop the bible of their series and the estimate of their pilot.
Last week, with the help of Catherine Alvaresse (Senior VP Sales & Coproductions @ Europe Image International – France), Philippe Jacot (Head of Coproductions @ EuroVision TV – Switzerland) and Per Nielsen (Script Doctor @ Brainstorm – Sweden), the 3 funds have finally chosen among the 6 files selected in the 1st phase 3 projects (one per region) which will receive an additional 125.000 € to shoot their pilot.
These are:
– Bo’s Bazaar by Jan Bultheel produced by Vivi Film, Nozon and Virtuo / Art’fx
– Toc-Toc by Xavier Steenman produced by Nexus Factory, Creative Conspirancy and Planetnemo
– Tuktulik by Fabienne Giezendanner produced by Studio Redfrog, Araneo and Walking The Dog
Within the framework of the next Anima festival, a professional meeting will be organized on March 10th to publicly debrief the three winners who will present the first stages of their work to the public.
