Other notable TV projects include the family drama WOMEN and reality show A Store of Dreams Under the Cocoa Tree.
TAICCA aims to support and promote Taiwan’s creative culture industry and it has been elevating the international reach of Taiwan’s audiovisual works since the Agency’s inception. It actively assists companies and projects from Taiwan, aiding them to succeed in the international market. In recent years, TAICCA has set up Taiwan pavilions at many international film and TV markets, increasing Taiwan’s exposure and helping the sales of Taiwanese work. The results so far have been positive. With its participation in MIPCOM this year, it aims to achieve yet more sales and to demonstrate the variety of content from Taiwan’s film and TV industry.
MIP JUNIOR, the notable pre-MIPCOM International Kids Screening and Co-Production Market, the biggest market focusing on global kids content, will also see Taiwan’s presence with TAICCA also supporting Taiwanese companies with children’s projects in their line-up.
