Last week, Donnie MacIntyre, MBA, Film Commissioner, Joanne Loton, Film and Media Officer, Matthew Ing, Film and Media Specialist, and Griffen E. Penney, Film Production Assistant, welcomed Doug Till and Erica Proudlock, production consultants from Ontario Creates for a tour of multiple standout production locations across Kingston and RTO 9 | South Eastern Ontario. Their activities included tours of the S.S. Keewatin, Fort Henry, Kingston Penitentiary, and the Kingston Airport, as well as an exciting boat tour of the 1000 Islands. It was a jam-packed two days, and we are thankful to have hosted these wonderful representatives from Ontario’s film and television production industry governing body. Thank you to Erica and Doug for being such great guests, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

And the entertainment industry is an integral component of the Southern California economy. This article goes into depth on the challenges faced by the business post-runaway production, post-Covid and post-labor strikes and offers real insight into what must be done for Los Angeles to become the home of Hollywood once again. https://lnkd.in/gv9euPa7

The impact of every production matters
The tremendous impact of a single feature film made in Georgia spreads to hundreds of businesses statewide. Productions spend a significant amount on businesses who do not solely service the screen production industry, such as real estate, hospitality, health and medical, and utilities. #gafilm #gafilmjobs #gafilmindustry For more details, go to https://lnkd.in/gqxWin_c Georgia Department of Economic Development DeKalb Entertainment Commission Explore Gwinnett (Tourism & Film Office) Georgia Film Academy IATSE Local 479

Counting down to The Film Collaborative Distribution Days on 02-03 May! This FREE virtual event is presented in collaboration with Sundance Institute and Film Independent and offers eight great sessions to help filmmakers demystify distribution. Topics include: 🎞️What are “all rights” buyers looking for? 🎞️Is a hybrid/bifurcated distribution strategy that includes the EU possible, and for which films? 🎞️Which Educational distributors are out there, for what types of films, and how do you find the one that is the best fit? 🎞️How should you incorporate an Educational window into your overall distribution strategy? 🎞️What steps can you take to make exhibitions of your film more accessible and inclusive? 🎞️What does it mean when festival “hits” are not receiving correspondingly “meaningful” distribution sales offers? 🎞️Can clinging to the potentially unrealistic dream of a big streaming or all rights deal risk your film’s ability to secure other meaningful distribution? 🎞️What should you look out for when signing a distribution agreement? PLUS Case Studies on Event Theatrical and Grassroots/Impact Distribution. Head to The Film Collaborative for free registration - looking forward to seeing many of our favorite storytellers there! Event sponsored by the Golden Globe Foundation
Film festivals are generally the first steps in putting an indie film out into the world, and often the most pivotal. So why are they often seen as more associated with “marketing” than distribution, and how has this changed in recent years? Why do so many films that are hits on the film festival circuit struggle so mightily to secure buyers, and how can film festivals be used to fill in the gaps? Jeffrey Winter moderates a panel with TFC alums Daresha Kyi (Mama Bears), Alex Lieberman (Bright West Entertainment; Summer Qamp, Subject, Sirens), Sav Rogers (Chasing Chasing Amy), and Beth Levinson (Storm Lake, Women in Blue) to discuss this…and more.
