A lot of independent movies these days are international co-productions, financed by a network of entities in different countries. Are you interested in this kind of thing? Well, if you are, I can recommend a webinar to you. Producer-writer-director Brendan Foley knows an awful lot about such matters, having been involved in many of them quite successfully. This Wednesday, he will be holding forth on the topic, joined by Ronni Coulter, SVP Business Affairs Sony Animation (previously Sony Pictures and Dreamworks) and top European co-producer Lars Hermann (ex Nordisk, Filmfyn film fund, Copenhagen Film Festival, now with Danish state broadcaster DR).
Brendan himself has helmed motion pictures, both live-action and animated, across eleven countries. He really knows this stuff and if I had any thought of trying to work one of these deals, I'd sure want to hear what he and his guests have to say.
