ACTF: Kids’ TV projects receive development funding

Five new projects and one returning project share in funding from the Australian Children's Television Foundation.

Six Kids’ TV projects have received development funding from the Australian Children’s Television Foundation.

Five new projects and one returning project received a second round of investment. These latest funding decisions committed a further $187,178 to children’s projects across film and television and continued to add to the record level of ACTF development investment in 2020 / 2021.

The latest slate of projects include original concepts and adaptations, and will include a mix of live-action and animation series and a feature-length film.

“It is exciting to see the diversity of concepts being submitted with the child audience front and centre of the ideas, as well as creatives also now thinking about where a project will sit in the market and how audiences now view content. This past 12 months has seen an exciting mix of projects come into the ACTF and the bar well and truly raised,” says ACTF Head of Content, Bernadette O’Mahony.
