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.
Makaresz and Louise Creely created and wrote the concept for Clelland’s company Sublimate Entertainment.
“We are really thrilled to have been selected for the Kids Live Action Pitch and to be attending Miptv as we have a few projects that we are looking to find partners for – children’s, Ya and adult drama,...
