„It’s a Financing Jungle out there, Team Up!“ – Lecture & Panel
Lecture„TV Financing in Europe“ by Marike Muselaers / CEO Lumière Group
The new European TV-industry and how the value chain is changing.
Financing models in this new TV industry and how to navigate this jungle.
Why marketing and distribution are key. Opportunities for producers in this new paradigm. Case studies: global platform vs territory-by-territory and what this means for long-tail revenue.
Panel talk
Financing is becoming a major struggle for producers. The demand for content increases and so do our budgets; who out there is willing to pay for an Austrian TV-series? Where are they and how do we approach new potential partners? What innovative new structures and financing models will suit our productions in the near future? What can we expect for our series from the international
markets in the coming years? Original local dramas from all over Europe are widely distributed, what can we expect from Austrian drama? Is it stepping up?
