Co-Pro Series
At the end of November 2020, the Croatian series project Afterparty by writer Dora Sustic and producer Maja Pek-Bruenjes (Antitalent) freshly graduated our MIDPOINT TV Launch program, winning the HBO Europe Award for the best project of the edition. Three months later, we will witness them pitching at the Berlinale Co-Pro Series industry event.
The Afterparty is a contemporary drama, which follows Lucija, in her late twenties, and her best friends as they explore the proper adult world, while the political aspirations of the ultra-conservative movement threaten their sexual freedom, health and self-esteem.
“Unlike most TV shows about female friendships, we don’t shy away from feminism; we explore it”, said the team in the Cineuropa interview.

We would also like to congratulate our TV Launch Head of Studies Gabor Krigler (Joyrider), who will also be pitching his new series projects Balaton Brigade at the Co-Pro Series presentation.
Check the Co-Pro Series pitches on March 2 at 11.00 CET.
