The Fiction Factory Showcase is a public presentation of original fiction projects conceived for cinema, television series, and publishing. Through a national open call, Bio to B selects a shortlist of projects, which are supported through a preparation pathway and 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 session and networking opportunities with attending industry professionals (one-to-one meetings).
Call opening: February 25, 2026
Call deadline: March 29, 2026, 11:59 PM (CET)
Submission is free of charge and subject to selection.
To apply, applicants must complete the online form (in Italian, the official language of the event) and submit the required materials, as specified in the official regulations.
Projects will be evaluated based on the quality of writing, originality of the concept, narrative strength, and production potential. Selected authors will receive accreditation to Bio to B | Drama, which includes participation in the Showcase to present their project to accredited industry professionals, as well as access to networking activities, panels, and industry content.
