IDFAcademy Session: Debunking the myths
IDFAcademy Session: Debunking the myths
Description

Debunking the myths: the director – producer relationship 

Everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask. DIRECTORS only.  
As a director, you are often told not to produce your own film, but to look for a producer. What should you expect from a producer? What not to expect? What about your rights and share? What are good examples of author contracts? Ask all the questions you never dared to.

Debunking the myths: Co-production relations 

Co-producing is often compared to marriage, meaning trust lies at the basis of any relationship. How to balance the need for funding with the co-production deal a potential partner is offering? How to do justice to the differences in experiences and economic realities?  What basic articles should a memo-deal include to build an equitable partnership? Share your experiences and ask anything.
