The second of the ACTF’s monthly development rounds saw five new projects receive development funds.

These monthly rounds were instituted in response to the industry shutdowns due to COVID-19 as a way to stimulate future production of children’s projects.

The May development round saw a diverse group of producers and productions being supported to enter their next stage of development. Projects included high-end pre-school and primary school age drama and a VR project.

The ACTF committed $79,131 in development investment this round, spread across:

• Epic Films, SA

Towards a live-action series.

• Happening Films, VIC

Towards an adaptation for a 10 x 10 minute VR series.

• Billy Anchor Productions, VIC

For a high-concept live-action series.

• Beyond Entertainment, NSW

Towards the development of an animation series.

• Epic Films, SA

For development of a pre-teen live-action series.

We look forward to seeing these projects and others supported by the ACTF develop in the second half of 2020.

The next ACTF development round closes on 22^nd June 2020.
