Paris, 21 November 2017 - MIPTV and CANNESERIES open a worldwide search for the next big global drama hit, selected by a Jury of top-tier industry leaders.
In Development is a 2-day event dedicated to fast-tracking drama series productions at an international level. It will be held from April 10-11, 2018 alongside MIPTV and CANNESERIES. The call for entries opens today, November 21.
The first ever In Development is co-organised by MIPTV and CANNESERIES. Together, they will combine MIPTV's unique blend of international decision-makers and financial partners with the high artistic standard of the International Cannes Series Festival.
Discover. Connect. Greenlight. are at the heart of In Development. This new international talent search offers producers and creators the opportunity to pitch their projects to key decision-makers, commissioning editors, platforms, distributors, co-producers, funds, and talent agencies enabling them to connect and greenlight projects.
In Development projects will be selected through an international call for entries, opening today, and designed to both highlight fresh new voices, as well as series from more established producers on the international scene that are looking for financing and development partnerships.
After a first round by a pre-selection committee, an international jury of drama experts will select the projects that will be pitched on stage. The deadline for project submissions is 8 January 2018, and the selected projects will be announced by the end of February.
As well as winning the opportunity to pitch a project to a high-level audience, the selected projects may be eligible for development funding from In Development's Official Partners:
Leading independent European producer, Federation Entertainment ( The Bureau ), will propose to co-develop, co-produce and distribute one of the selected projects.
French think tank La Fabrique des Formats and its investment fund will offer financing for up to two series from the selection backed by a French producer or co-producer.
Full information is available in the Terms & Conditions of In Development.
Another section of In Development will feature Early-Stage Projects from emerging and seasoned writers with international ambitions curated with the assistance of international writing residences and talent agencies.
