    The Slovak-Czech co-production also has the same producers as Foxes: Czech company Cineart TV Prague and Slovak company Mirafox. "I would like to meet with the producer from EU during the one-to-one meetings," Fornay said.Fornay's film will be one of 37 selected projects presented to 450 potential co-production partners and funding organizations.

    Shooting is planned to begin at the end of 2010. Casting has just started.
