United Media and the Pula Film Festival announced the continuation of their successful collaboration through the second edition of their joint project, “Make the Scene.”
Following last year’s workshop, which attracted significant interest and resulted in original projects, the partners continue their support for regional talent and the promotion of authentic television storytelling.

As part of this year’s “Make the Scene—Comedy Edition,” a call for submissions is now open to talented writers from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to submit their original scripted television series projects in the comedy and dramedy genres in the language of the applicant’s country.

Applications for the pitching program are open until May 25. Each applicant may submit up to two projects, provided that the projects have not previously received financial support or awards through other competitions or public calls. Submissions can be made independently or in collaboration with a production company.

The pitching session will be held in the participants’ native languages, in front of a three-member expert jury, during the Pula Film Festival, which takes place from July 10 to 17. The best project will be awarded €5.000, while the runner-up will receive expert mentorship from renowned creators Goran Stanković and Vladimir Tagić, aimed at further developing the project.
