Canada’s Ziah Frost Media and Colombia’s Fosfenos Media’s webseries The Kitchen received $59,111 in funding. In total, the project nabbed $22,686 from Proimágenes and $36,425 from the CMF.

Meanwhile, Artific.io, a webseries from Canada’s Cuiba Films and Colombia’s Gusano Films, picked up $58,532. The CMF contributed $20,000, while Proimágenes gave $38,532 in funding.
