MIPJunior project pitch finalist: South Farm by Yarki Studio

MIPJunior is the world’s leading kid’s entertainment industry event that took place in Cannes on 13 and 14 October, 2018.

It brought together representatives of animation studios, record companies, TV program makers, agents, producers, promoters, as well as journalists from television, radio, online and print media from around the world.

After reviewing nearly two hundred projects submitted for pitching, the industry jury selected top five candidates. Being among the best programs to pitch live on the MIPJunior stage was a great honor for Yarki Studio.

During the two-day event participants presented their content.

Our presentation was very well received by the audience – we were offered coproduction by three animation studios from different countries.

The overall results of the pitching were impressive: participants showed interest in our cartoon, memorized the main character, and gave a very positive feedback on the idea. Listening to the opinions of the industry guru is always the best way to learn and grow. And we used this opportunity to the fullest.

Attending seminars to discuss the latest trends for kids’ program development, psychological aspects of the industry for children, and the use of digital audio and visual information for educational programs is a priceless experience and a chance to see our products from a different perspective and expand our approach.

The presence at MIPJunior influenced our vision in many ways and inspired us for certain alterations in our project. We will be sharing them soon.
