We are excited to receive a customised audience research package provided by PUBLIKUM supporting us in developing a deeper connection with our target viewers.🙏🏻

🗣️ Jury statement:
“Acorn’s Adventure impressed us with its strong concept and clear understanding of its target audience. It’s driven by characters directly inspired - and partly created - by children themselves, giving it authenticity and appeal. The story combines action, adventure, and humour in a fast-paced mission that encourages play, creativity, and connection with nature. A universal story with clear international potential.” 🌍💫

We were honoured to be part of the Cinekid Festival Junior Co-production Market, and we want to thank Aileen, Jessica, and the whole Cinekid Professionals team for believing in our project. 💛
