TAICCA X MPA Script to Screen Film Workshop & Pitching Competition 2022
The Motion Picture Association and Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) will co-host a capacity building event that invites approximately 60 of Taiwan’s leading film/TV makers to hear from studio executives about the international industry’s approach to the development process, particularly as it concerns long form television. We will hear from two international development/production executives, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers in the room. This will be followed directly by a pitch competition where five filmmakers are given five minutes each to pitch their new project. The pitches will be judged by local established filmmakers alongside international development/production executives. The live event will be closed to those attending and MPA member studio representatives.

The study shows that countries that incentivize VOD industries, rather than burden them with restrictions and heavy-handed regulation, are more likely to develop a virtuous cycle of investment and return. This benefits the economy, creates jobs and produces great content for all to enjoy.
The launch event for The Economic Impact of Video-On-Demand Services in Taiwan 2021 research report will involve a moderated discussion with some key stakeholders in Taiwan’s video-on-demand industry.
