WHY ATTEND

Are the old rules of indie film financing and distribution dead? We have the data on what replaced them.

This session delivers a strategic breakdown of the fundamental shifts in indie film financing and distribution, revealing a new, data-driven playbook for getting projects made and seen. We will analyze who is actively funding indie projects today—the new financiers, streamers, and international commissioners—and pinpoint the specific genres, from high-concept micro-budget to specialized documentaries, that they are greenlighting.

You will leave with the playbook for navigating today’s complex market, understanding which buyers are acquiring specific types of content, and the precise strategies that are turning independent projects into local and international successes.
