A pioneering initiative by TAICCA (Taiwan), AR Asia Productions (Hong Kong), and Something Special (Korea) have come together to elevate Taiwanese unscripted storytelling. By K Dass.
Taiwan - In a groundbreaking collaboration,
Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), AR Asia Productions, and Something
Special have joined forces to establish LEAP, a creative lab aimed at training
Taiwanese storytellers in unscripted productions. This innovative initiative
not only nurtures local talent but also elevates the international perspective
of unscripted content creation in Taiwan.
Top Korean
producers play a pivotal role in LEAP, serving as program mentors. These
producers, renowned for their contributions to hit shows like Physical 100
and Running Man, will provide invaluable insights and expertise to
enhance the creative capabilities of Taiwanese creators. The infusion of
international perspectives is expected to elevate the quality and marketability
of unscripted content produced through the program.
The 9-month
immersive fast-track program covers a comprehensive curriculum, including
ideation, co-development, packaging, and monetisation of unscripted content.
Strategically designed, it enables participants to create formats that can be
successfully monetised both regionally and internationally. Beyond content
creation, the program ensures that creators grasp the business aspects of the
industry, fostering a holistic approach to their work.
