ABOUT THE EVENT: What do we actually mean when we talk about “the marketplace”, and what does it look like for filmmakers trying to break into it today? The film and television business has undergone enormous shifts in recent years, changing what gets bought, who is buying it and how projects find their way to audiences. This conversation brings together industry insiders to demystify today’s marketplace and examine the current forces shaping what gets made. Our panelists will unpack what buyers are responding to right now, which genres and formats are gaining traction, how budgets and audience considerations factor into decision-making and where there may be opportunities for emerging filmmakers. Beyond chasing trends, we’ll hone in on this: What can filmmakers learn from the marketplace to better position their projects and themselves?
