Co-Productions

Structuring multi-territory co-productions with confidence. Navigating the commercial, legal, and practical aspects of co-productions can be complex, but with the right advice the rewards can be huge financially, logistically and creatively.

Using trusted advisors to bridge commercial relationships with international funding, talent, and distribution is a key part of ensuring these productions succeed, as is having expert advice from the start to navigate treaty (or “official”) co-production requirements, particularly with finance and rights structures.
