29 titles closed this year’s Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) Pitch on Friday evening (7 Nov), taking home prizes worth more than US$300,000 backed by 35 local and international organisations.
The five categories in this year’s TCCF Pitching Awards were Project, Feature Film, Series, Documentary and Story, and the prize pool totalled NT$10.1 million/US$313,000, setting a new benchmark for the annual event.
The companies gathered behind the TAICCA/TCCF initiative include Taiwan’s Far EasTone Telecom, Chunghwa Telecom and Taiwan Mobile, Singapore’s Mediacorp, new Taipei-based IP incubator Joint Journey Creative, multiple Taiwan government agencies including TAICCA, CJ ENM HK, and the U.S.-backed Motion Picture Association, among others.
Taiwan-based IPis Innovation’s US$2-million romance/comedy, "Do You Still Love Me?" was the most awarded show, walking away with Eastern Broadcasting’s EBC Original IP potential award, Taiwan Mobile’s MyVideo: Content Power Award, and TVBS Media’s TVBS Storytelling Impact Grand Award. The 10-episode series, inspired by the stage play "Hello Marriage, Goodbye Love", is in script development.
The US$30,000 TAICCA x CNC Award, backed by government bodies from Taiwan and France, went to Moon Road Media and Films’ 75-minute political/social documentary feature, "My Camera, My Gun". The US$205,000 Portugal-Japan project, written and directed by Toru Kubota, is about a soldier and his camera in the heart of war.
