Pamplona, Spain — This year’s Conecta Fiction, Spain’s upstart international TV co-pro and networking event now in its third year, hosted a Pitch Digiseries session, an hour-long event which saw five ambitious short-form projects pitch to industry professionals gathered in the northern city of Pamplona.
While drama may be the name of the game among high-end broadcast TV projects pitched at Conecta Fiction, for digital short form series it was all about the laughs. Five series pitched on Tuesday, each one featuring a dark humor popular among young audiences more likely to watch an 8-12 minute episode on their phone than sit down for 50 minutes of heavy drama.
Gabi Ochoa and Héctor Beltrán’s “From the Dead,” was the session’s big winner, taking home the Acorde prize, which includes the scoring of an original soundtrack for the series’ first season.
