Autentic presents Autentic Matchmaking Day, taking place on June 16, 2026, in Munich as a hybrid event. This is your chance to connect directly with decision-makers from broadcasters and streaming platforms. The event is designed to accelerate the development and greenlighting of unscripted serial content, giving producers a unique platform to pitch their projects in front of a curated network of international buyers. 

Who can participate: 
Production companies are invited to submit factual development slates with up to four projects in development or production. Eligible projects include serials, mini-series, or multi-part formats with international distribution potential. Trailers are welcome but not mandatory. 

Key details: 

• Each selected producer will have 15 minutes on the event day to present their slate.
• Genres we are seeking: Science & Technology, History & Ancient History, Crime, Factual Entertainment, Nature, and other factual or factual-adjacent content with international appeal.
• Projects with budgets up to €200,000 per hour are eligible, with the strongest chances for selection around €100,000 per hour – the ideal balance for productions that are ambitious yet also ready for today’s market.
• Projects that already have a partner attached but are seeking gap financing are also welcome.
• Autentic Distribution will actively support projects post-event, taking over responsibility for international sales and distribution.
• The submission and participation is free of charge. 
   

This is a rare opportunity to showcase your projects directly to those who make commissioning and investment decisions, receive actionable feedback, and potentially secure greenlight commitments. Autentic Matchmaking Day is not just a pitching event – it’s a springboard to accelerate your project from development to production and global markets. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative day for serial storytelling.
