TCCF Pitch concluded awarding 29 titles across five categories: Project, Feature Film, Series, Documentary, and Story. The event set a new financial benchmark with a total prize pool of NT$10.1 million (US$313,000), supported by 35 local and international organizations.
The most awarded project of the event was Do You Still Love Me?, a romance-comedy series from Taiwan-based IPis Innovation. The 10-episode production, currently in script development with a budget of US$2 million, is inspired by the stage play Hello Marriage, Goodbye Love. It secured three separate honors: Eastern Broadcasting’s EBC Original IP potential award, Taiwan Mobile’s MyVideo: Content Power Award, and TVBS Media’s TVBS Storytelling Impact Grand Award.
In the documentary category, the US$30,000 TAICCA x CNC Award—backed by government bodies from Taiwan and France—was presented to My Camera, My Gun. Produced by Moon Road Media and Films, this 75-minute political and social documentary is a Portugal-Japan co-production written and directed by Toru Kubota. The project, budgeted at US$205,000, focuses on a soldier and his camera in a war zone.
The TAICCA Award for Best Story, valued at NT$300,000 (US$9,300), went to Mirror Fiction’s comic Rogue Bookstore. This workplace romantic comedy follows a former rogue and a book-loving girl who team up to save a bookstore. Additionally, seven projects won two awards each, including Goodbye My Love, How Sweet Does the Honey Taste?, the feature film Naked in Glendale, and Never the Bride.
One of the most discussed pitches was Federation Stories’ Ghost Girl, Banana, a six-episode series with a budget of US$28 million. The narrative centers on a Chinese woman exiled to London from Hong Kong to restore family honor. Thirty years later, her bi-racial daughter is named in the will of a powerful stranger, forcing her to return to her mother’s homeland to uncover the history behind her mother’s life.
The TCCF initiative garnered support from a wide range of industry players. Participating companies included Taiwan’s Far EasTone Telecom, Chunghwa Telecom, and Taiwan Mobile, alongside Singapore’s Mediacorp and the Taipei-based IP incubator Joint Journey Creative. Government and international agencies involved included TAICCA, CJ ENM HK, and the U.S.-backed Motion Picture Association.
