This year’s sixth-annual Asian Animation Summit (AAS) will take place in Brisbane, Australia once again from November 29 to December 1.
It is anticipated that roughly 250 attendees will take part in this year’s event which is designed to attract producers of animation who are interested in co-producing projects with partners in Asia-Pacific countries, as well as broadcasters, distributors and investors from the region and beyond.
In the course of the three-day event, 24 projects from Australia, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia-Pacific, that are brand-new to the market and looking for financing and partners, will be presented.
Each day will begin with a highly informative panel discussion featuring broadcast buyers from one of our partner countries.
Roughly 50 per cent of projects that debuted at the first four AAS events have since gone into production including well-known series like Bottersnikes & Gumbles (2012), Kuu Kuu Harajuku (2013), Wonderballs (2012) and Balloon Barnyard (2014).
As many as 88 per cent of producers who have presented projects at AAS report that they met critical broadcast and financing partners at the event.
And 95% of them said attending AAS has helped them establish important relationships with international producers.
