Financing Your Feature Film

Next Course Dates

23 February 2012 to 24 February 2012  

There’s no “correct” or “standard” way of financing your feature. But, this course will point you in the right direction. And it will attempt to answer the question at the heart of raising finance for any feature: is it commercial and how long will it take to get into profit?

Over this two day workshop, you will learn:

• What makes a film worth financing
• How investors see the aspects of the project in commercial terms
• How sales agents and distributors view the market both domestic and international
• Equity, pre-sales and gap financing
• The types of deals available
• Co-production and international deals
• How financing calculations are constructed and how the income is shared

Included in the course will be up-to-date information on legal issues affecting operating matters as well as how profits are accounted for and safeguarded.
