World Sales Panel
Tuesday, January 20
Film sales have been a global proposition for quite some time, but the role of international sales agents remains a mystery to many filmmakers. Sales representatives are no longer simply brokers who sell a movie into the international marketplace. Now, they are involved in financing projects, presales, co-productions, and getting films into festivals.
Wouter Barendrecht, Jonathan Dana, Cassian Elwes, Charlotte Mickie, Steven Raphael, John Sloss, and Christine Vachon discuss what they do; the relationship among producers, producers reps, and sales agents; and
the variety of ways and stages in which projects are sold.
