EVENT DETAILS
How do you access international financing for your film project? What are the how to's, pros, & cons of working in both Europe & the US, & what's it like to get financing from both locations?

A global economy means global opportunities. Everyone from studios, to mini-studios, to big production companies & platforms are producing & shooting abroad. Why? Not only does shooting abroad help filmmakers get access to great locations, but it also allows them access to soft money, which minimizes the risk of their investors. While this might sound like something only big corporations can have access to, in reality any independent producer can tap into the same opportunities - if they have the knowledge & the right contacts.

In this interactive class, you'll learn about different financing models: European vs. American vs. a hybrid model. You'll also learn about different financing sources - like government & state grants, supra-country grants, tax incentives & shelters - & how they can or cannot work with each model.

The instructor for this class is Martin Rosete, a Spanish-born & Spanish Academy Award nominated filmmaker who's lived in the US for the past 12 years. Martin will use case studies from his own experiences in filmmaking as examples, to demonstrate the how to's, pros, & cons, of working in both Europe & the US, & what it's like to get financing from both places.

The class will cover in detail:

The Script / Understand why it is crucial to find the right script. Every story is unique, & so are its needs. As such, not all projects can be co-financed internationally.

Case Study: MONEY by Martin Rosete

Packaging / Also known as learning the art of compromise. When you get soft money from a country, it usually comes with some rules & restrictions. You may need to bring some actors from one or other territory to fulfill the rules of the grant.

Case Study: REMEMBER ME by Martin Rosete

Shooting & Post-production / The same rules as packaging apply here. Usually if you get a grant from a country, you will have to spend most of that money in that country, & in citizens from there, with a few exceptions.

Sales & Release / Having a certain nationality attached to your film can be an asset. Learn how you can increase your chances of selling a film in Europe (and getting a bigger offer) can increase exponentially.
