In a powerful alliance, Paris-based premium kids content producer Cottonwood Media, German public broadcaster Zdf and its co-pro and distribution arm Zdf Enterprises, HBO Max and Brazil’s Globo are teaming to produce “Theodosia,” a big new live action kids adventure series targeting family audiences.

Sandra Makaresz (l) and Laura Clelland.
Laura Clelland and Sandra Makaresz have been invited to participate in the second annual Kids Live Action Pitch at Miptv – the only Aussies among five teams from around the world.
They will be pitching Super Huu, the tale of 13-year-old Huu Phan, who becomes the keeper of an ancient Talisman and must win the trust of the Warrior Spirits trapped within it to control the super powers they can give him.
The twist: The Warrior Spirits are a trouble-making, rude and stupid bunch who are intent on making Huu’s life hell.
