Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) Animation Pitch has received industry endorsement, with representatives from key international and Asian children’s entertainment brands forming the on-stage jury.
Targeted at creators and producers of innovative concepts for new and original kids’ animation, ATF Animation Pitch is aimed at facilitating the exchange of ideas and talent between leading international television, distribution and Asian-based producers.
The on-stage jury will comprise representatives from some of the biggest names in children’s animation and entertainment. Amongst the current line-up are Netflix head of international kids acquisitions and co-productions Aram Yacoubian; The Walt Disney Company head of acquisitions and co-productions, talent and music Anand Roy; and Nickelodeon Brand Asia (Viacom International Media Networks) vice president Syahrizan Mansor.

This will include a $2,500 cash award, and a consultancy package worth $16,500 that is tailor-made for the winner to develop their animation, making it ready to pitch to broadcasters.
