Animac Incubator is not focused on finished works; instead, it supports projects under development and does not specify traditional finished formats (such as short film, feature film, or series). Instead, it welcomes animation project proposals of any final format as long as they are in a developmental stage suitable for pitching. This call is ideal for creators and production teams seeking to advance their projects before completion.
