About
The film & TV landscape has changed drastically over the last few years. There is endless bandwidth and a greater need than ever for local language films and TV series that can connect with the one marketplace that suddenly exists - the world. Storytellers from all corners of the globe must now transcend borders as they are reaching a transcontinental audience faster than ever before. There is an immediate need to tell culturally authentic stories with universal themes and appeal in order to take advantage of the new global distribution models available to all. Countries are competing to offer competitive tax incentives and build their workforce to lure large productions and that is also creating opportunities for local filmmakers in these regions to tell their stories in bigger ways and export them around the world. It's safe to say that the landscape is shifting, and fast. In this expert panel we'll be talking about this Entertainment Industry Evolution and how you can adapt to this new landscape - from script to screen.
