La Fill the Gap Initiative está dirigida a productores de animación que participaron en el Cartoon Forum 2024 y aún no han completado el financiamiento de sus proyectos. Su objetivo es brindarles visibilidad y oportunidades de networking para cerrar la brecha financiera y avanzar hacia la producción.
Los productores seleccionados deben contar con al menos el 70% del presupuesto asegurado, tener un canal de televisión comprometido y entregar un tráiler de 30 a 45 segundos para presentar su proyecto. Los participantes también deben comprometerse a asistir a las sesiones de matchmaking organizadas durante el evento.
La iniciativa incluye la difusión del tráiler en el Coffee Show, participación en sesiones de matchmaking con compradores, agentes de ventas y coproductores potenciales, así como presencia en la aplicación móvil del Cartoon Forum. Se prioriza la diversidad geográfica y se da preferencia a proyectos que no estén presentando un nuevo proyecto en la edición siguiente del Cartoon Forum.
La fecha límite de entrega del tráiler es el 18 de agosto de 2025, y las presentaciones se realizarán el 18 de septiembre de 2025 en Toulouse, Francia, durante el Cartoon Forum. Esta iniciativa busca facilitar la finalización del financiamiento y la conexión con socios estratégicos.

Fill the Gap Initiative
Izaña Lab is designed by a team that faces the challenge of filmmaking daily, who understands that a film is the result of continuous trial and error processes. The entire process is, in reality, a laboratory, where the experiment is tested, analyzed and repeated. Each film is a prototype, and although we dream of replicating success stories, reality shows us that the way to position a product as unique as a cinematographic creation in the market requires inventing new formulas that fit each case.
