DEVELOPMENT SLATE NGF 2021

ended

The slate consists of five fictional film projects with very different genres, formats and target groups. The script of our promising young auteur about a rent a friend agency, has already been invited to the Résidence of the Cannes Cinéfondation in 2020 and is designed as an international high concept dramedy. An international star is already on board, the rest of the cast, crew and locations are still being sought until shooting begins in 2022. Co-production partner and sales agent are already fixed. The politically explosive arthouse film by the internationally renowned writer/director is the first project to be made as a European co-production, having already made two award-winning films in Argentina. As one of 15 projects worldwide, it was selected for L'Atelier de Cinéfondation in Cannes and presented to the international film industry. The script is still being developed, talks with potential co-production partners from Luxembourg and Belgium are continuing and an international team and cast are being assembled for the 2023 shoot. The following two film projects are based on a bestselling children's book. On the one hand, we are developing an animated series for the 5-8 year olds together with our studio partner arx anima, and on the other hand, we have conceived a live-action film trilogy for the big screen as family entertaiment. The first part was already shot in summer 2021 as an Austrian-German co-production and we are now developing the sequel. Cast & crew & locations already set, allows us to focus on script editing and financing, shooting planned for summer 2022. A real discovery is the young writer with whom we are developing a culture clash drama series, which tells the story of a mismatched female duo from Vienna's Afro-European and Jewish communities in a turbulent and funny way. The next steps are to further develop the treatment and characters in a Writers Room, as well as pitching to TV stations and streamers to make funding possible by 2023.
