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.

Madrid — Two female-driven feature comedy projects with potential international appeal, Cristina Trenas and Isabel Delclaux’s “Three Astronauts” and Roberto Goñi and Laura Molpeceres’ “Two Friends,” proved top highlights at the fifth edition of Pitchbox, held in Madrid.
Organized by online platform Filmarket Hub, the films-in-development showcase took place May 22, attracting a typically select but high-quality caliber of executives and represented companies from key players such as Telecinco Cinema, Atresmedia Cine, Tve, Warner Bros. España, DeAPlaneta, Tornasol Films, Morena Films, Latido Films, Dynamo and TriPictures.
The seven projects pitched, previously filtered and analyzed by Filmarket Hub, generated a wide-ranging selection in terms of film genres and budgets, while reflecting women’s growing visibility in creation, direction and lead characters.
Event’s networking also served to confirm that Spanish film industry problems remain, from regulatory uncertainty to under-capitalized public funding schemes and the commitment to independent production of many public broadcasters.
