When you’ve spent so many months and years working away at your scripts, it’s easy to forget that there’s a massive ecosystem of people and companies involved in bringing a story to your local theater. We’re talking production companies, financiers, sales agents, and distributors all coming together a few times a year to acquire new material. We’re talking markets and festivals.
But what are the differences between markets and festivals? What do we mean when we say “acquisitions”? And should a writer even bother to learn this ecosystem if they don’t have a ready-for-theaters film to take to market?
The answers to all this and more in Andrew Borden’s upcoming webinar!
This 90-Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Markets vs. Film Festivals
- What to expect from each market/festival
- Acquisitions
- How to navigate the ecosystem
