Conecta Fiction & Entertainment announced the incorporation of prominent international industry professionals as members of the editorial committees of the projects of its international pitching sessions. The seventh edition of the event will be held in Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, from June 26-29, 2023.
The names of the first professionals confirmed for this purpose, who will also be attending the event in Toledo, are: Al de Azpiazu (Fremantle Internacional), Diego del Pozo (Atresmedia TV), Marie Leguizamo (Banijay México & US Hispanic), Monica Athayde (Globo), Óscar Prol (Amazon Studios), Paula Kirchner (Warner Bros. Discovery), Sheila Hall Aguirre (Fremantle), Christian Gockel (Beta Entertainment Spain & Beta Fiction Spain), Guillermo Borensztein (TelevisaUnivision), Filip Bobinski (Dramedy Productions), music composer Pablo Borghi, and writer and scriptwriter Natacha Caravia.
These executives join this year Diego Ramírez Schrempp (Dynamo), Patricia Arpea (Pegasus), Alexander Keil (Quokas Originals), and Ana Celia Urquidi (Atenea Media), who have also been part of the project evaluation committees in previous editions. In the coming weeks, and before the closure of the different categories of calls for projects, all the evaluation committees will be completed.
"I would like to thank all the professionals and talent who will be collaborating with us this year, and of course all the participants from previous editions. Their continuous support and guidance in the selection of the finalist projects has helped in a very decisive way so that more than a dozen projects have been realized, broadcasted, or are currently in different stages of production both in Spain and abroad," commented Géraldine Gonard, Director of Conecta Fiction & Entertainment.
