    ŽILINA: Director Matej Holub and producer Dorota Holubova pitched their project, the animated TV series Slovak Dumplings/Haluskovo Slovensko at the 2nd edition of the Pitching Forum within the 8th Fest Anča (24-28 June 2015).

    Slovak Dumplings is set to be a 2D animated TV series of 12 episodes of six minutes each with a 10-minutes pilot episode. The script written by Matej Holub is based on local folklore, traditions, customs, legends, and so forth. re-interpreted in a funny  and ironical way so as to appeal to children of 6-12. The first episode is about the national hero and Slovak legend Janošik

    The budget is 2,000 EUR per minute. The brother and sister team say that all the episodes can be made in one and a half years. They are hoping that they will get support from Slovak Television or Czech Television or Slovak Audiovisual Fund. If so, they expect to finish it end of 2016.  They received a production grant of approximately 7,000 EUR from the Slovak Audiovisual Fund for the pilot episode.
