Best known for its Sitges Pitchbox, Film Market Hub has also emerged as a live event/digital driver for the drama series business in Spain.
Last December’s Madrid TV Pitchbox helped TV projects gain visibility in front of a group of executives at high-profile TV companies.
For Pep Jové’s internet comedy series “Streisand Effect,” set up at Barcelona’s Compacto, “the event marked a before and after,” says producer Aritz Cirbián.
A few months later at the second Conecta Fiction co-production forum, “Streisand” earned a development contract from Rtve’s digital platform Playz.
Frank Lucas’ youth drama “Wv$P,” the descent into hell for a rich teenager teaming with a street dance gang, was another standout title at Madrid.
“It allowed us to meet one-on-one with executives at main TV platforms and get feedback,” says producer Gerard Rodríguez at Japonica Films. “We are in serious talks with two of them.

Barcelona — Projects “Deus Irae,” “The Occupant,” “9 Steps’ and ‘Fiesta” won prizes at the 4th Sitges Pitchbox, hosted by Spain’s Sitges Fantastic Film Festival in partnership with online platform Filmarket Hub and godfathered this year by Ron Perlman. Awards were announced Friday Oct. 5.
“Deus Irae” aims to be the feature debut of Argentine Pedro Cristiani, a co-writer of the acclaimed sci-fi short “Moebius.” A supernatural thriller and a follow-up to Cristiani’s short of the same name, “Deus Irae” follows Father Javier whose mandate is to examine and explain alleged miracles and Satanic events.
According to Cristiani, “the horror elements are explicit, but the visual treatment enhances its monstrous beauty.” Creature design is inspired by the creations of Dante Alighieri, Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon.
The first 26 minutes are already produced and the film expected to be completed in Argentina. It is backed by Cristiani, Simon Ratziel and Guido Volpi,...
