BiZ Productions and Elephant Story series "SAGA" won the US$30,000 top series prize at TCCF this evening, with “Somewhere in the South” (虎嘯無聲) from Giraffe Pictures and Evil Genius Studio taking the US$35,000 TAICCA × CNC Feature Film Grand Award and the US$30,000 documentary award going to "A Day's Worth" (一日之計)from Singing Cicadas. The US$30,000 TAICCA × Wētā FX Animation Grand Award went to “Wilderness of the Greenriver” (彌河上的荒野) from Eddy Cinéma.

The prizes were among 33 awards across the 2026 TCCF pitching and story sessions held over the past four days. 

“SAGA”, a six-episode social issue French comedy, is set in an AI-dominated future where a regulatory quota for human-authored content throws four forgotten screenwriters back together. Their low-budget no-filter series becomes an unlikely hit and a mirror for the very lives they thought had ended.
