The Pitch Docuseries market represents a tremendous opportunity to socialize the kind of non-fiction stories that are capturing our attention as creators of original content.

This year our goal is to expand the distribution of the series “Hola Flinko” to Europe and present the first episode of “Microterrícolas”, as well as celebrate co-production alliances for our new film “La Colina”. The focus of our work has always been on projects that generate bridges between Spain/Italy and Latin America, and Conecta is one of the most propitious places to establish these bridges.
