MIPCOM Spotlight: Australian Children’s Television Foundation

Crazy Fun Park, a live-action horror comedy, leads the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) slate.

From creator Nicholas Verso and producer Joanna Werner, the series follows a shy teen who wants to fit in and enjoy his high school years, but his dead best friend and a posse of ghouls sabotage him at every turn.

Built to Survive sees host Phil Breslin get up close to the world’s unique creatures that are able to survive Australia’s most extreme habitats.

Barrumbi Kids, adapted from Leonie Norrington’s novel, centers on best friends Tomias and Dahlia in a remote Northern Territory community.

“No matter where they’re from, kids love adventure, laughter, real-life stories and a bit of harmless horror thrown in for good measure,” says Tim Hegarty, international sales manager at ACTF.

He adds, “Broadcasters from around the globe will find content here that offers their audience a truly fabulous viewing experience.”
