Fiction Factory Showcase

The Fiction Factory Showcase is a presentation platform for original fiction concepts developed for film, series, and publishing.

Through a national open call, Bio to B selects a shortlist of projects that take part in a preparation programme before being publicly presented to audiovisual producers, publishers, rights managers, literary agencies, IP and talent scouts, story editors, and professionals from film production companies, television, broadcast TV, and OTT platforms, with the aim of fostering meetings, option agreements, and concrete development opportunities.

Selected authors take part in a pitch preparation programme and present their projects during the Showcase, followed by a final award ceremony and networking opportunities with attending industry professionals, including one-to-one meetings.

The selection takes into account the quality of the writing, the originality of the concept, the narrative strength, and the production potential of the project. The selected authors receive accreditation to Bio to B | Drama, which includes participation in the Showcase to present their project to the audience of accredited professionals, as well as access to networking activities, panels, and content. Attendance is required for the entire duration of Bio to B – Industry Days | Drama (June 8–9, 2026, Bologna).
