In the Spotlight today is the 5th Annual Film-Com Financing & Distribution Market, uniquely positioned to help talented content creators establish relationships and cut deals for their in-progress feature film, television, documentary, and video-gaming projects. Film-Com is not a festival for the screening of completed works -- instead, it's an accelerator for projects that already have some packaging elements in place. These elements may include a business plan, partial funding, attached talent, or some initial interest from distributors. In short, Film-Com helps push great material across the finish line.
With an eye for commercial marketability, Film-Com cultivates and nurtures career-advancing relationships that connect its participating content creators with studio and television executives, equity and lender financiers, and reputable distribution companies. Selected works are also profiled on Film-Com's website and at the New Project Expo -- and each has the chance to be presented, in person, to significant industry players who are hunting for great material. Previous Film-Com participants have included The Weinstein Company; Lionsgate, DreamWorks Animation, Fox Television; CBS, A&E, William Morris Endeavor, TruTV, SyFy, American Public Television, and many more.
