Getting It Made, Getting Paid

The old model — you know, the one from 18 months ago — was all about getting the greenlight. Now, with the commissioning process compromised by myriad factors, it’s about getting the green… the money to get your project off the page and into production, with or without a commissioner on board. Rather than wait for the commissioning chill to thaw, producers that have built businesses through ‘work for hire’ are increasingly shifting to the ‘make it and sell it’ approach that has been the tried-and-true model for international content creators and distributors. Here, you’ll meet execs who will share the latest developments in international distribution, and experts who can help you navigate the many emerging avenues for funding factual and unscripted content.
