Have you got a project seeking a sales agent? Or do you want an insight into what a distributor can do for you?
Key players from leading sales agents and distributors will take part in 2 panel sessions with Q&As at the Belfast Film Festival on Friday 12th April at the QFT.
These sessions are geared for all levels of film-makers – directors, producers and writers – and feature some of the best names from the business.
Session 1 – THE SALES AGENT -
This session will look at the role of the sales agent in independent film-making; what the market is looking for in terms of sellable and marketable scripts and whether a sales agent can help get your project financed.
Session 2 – PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION -
Focusing on the state of the distribution sector in the UK and Ireland, this panel will consider how the contraction of the marketplace impacts on the types of film being produced and distributed and whether upcoming film-makers should now be writing for platforms other than the traditional theatrical model.
Confirmed panel participants are:
Clare Crean, The Works International;
Natalie Brenner, Ealing Metro International;
Sally Caplan, eOne Entertainment;
Stephen Kelliher, Bankside Films;
Siobhan Farrell, Eclipse Pictures;
Julia Short, The Works;
