Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF), organised by Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), has selected 42 projects and 20 pieces of IP for the TCCF Pitching section of its fifth edition (November 5-8).
These selections will compete for a total prize pool of $225,000 (TWD7.2m), the largest in TCCF Pitching history, comprising around 30 awards sponsored by TAICCA and private entities.
The ‘Project to Screen’ section, which includes both Taiwanese and international projects, is sub-divided into four categories: Feature Films, Series, Animation Features & Series, and Documentary Features & Series.
The ‘Story To Screen’ section, for Taiwanese books and comics with adaptation potential, is sub-divided into Ficion & Non-Fiction and Comics. Story To Screen also includes TCCF’s first collaboration with Shoot The Book!, a screen adaptation initiative by the Civil Society of French-language Publishers (SCELF).
