On February 25 and 26, the Berlinale Co-Production Market will invite producers, programming directors, distributors and series financiers to the exclusive pitch event “Co-Pro Series”, which is part of the “Berlinale Series Market” (February 24 to 26) at the Zoo Palast. Successes like Babylon Berlin or Freud (Austria / Germany, Berlinale Series 2020) are among the former “Co-Pro Series” pitch participants.
The Belgian-British series Capturing Big Mouth will be presented in cooperation with the Series Mania Forum, where it premiered in 2019. The producers hope to find additional partners at “Co-Pro Series”.
One of the new projects presented for the first time at “Co-Pro Series” will then have the opportunity to pitch again at Series Mania at the end of March.
