Reminder | Screen Business Essentials: Navigating Growth

Screen Business Essentials: Navigating Growth – Following our highly successful 2-day Screen Business Essentials course in October, Screen Business Essentials: Navigating Growth, held in conjunction with the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), is back to provide a practical, real-world guide to provide early to mid-career producers with a deep dive into option and co-development agreement deal terms plus finance plans and recoupment waterfalls for feature film and long-form scripted TV. 

Legal and finance decisions made at the very beginning of a project will impact the life of the project for many years—even decades—to come. Knowing your rights and being well-informed and strategic is essential to ensuring maximum returns on both a creative and financial level.     

Key course takeaways include:   

• Explore key deal terms and considerations when optioning a project. 
• Analyse the structure of a co-development agreement.  
• Develop strategies for protecting your investment and partnering for success. 
• Learn the strategy behind creating a finance plan for a $5M feature film and a 6 x 1hr TV series. 
• Identify current buyers in the marketplace and what sort of deals they are doing. 
• Understand the expectations of equity investors and what they will receive in return. 
• Master the complexities of recoupment waterfalls. 
• Learn how to make informed decisions when it comes to navigating superannuation and your own financial security.
