The Long and the Short of Monetising Documentary Rights
Business In a volatile screen business landscape where IP is everything, how can documentary filmmakers make the most from carefully working with the rights in their screen content, but also impact strategies and ancillary works?
What do you need to know about organising deals via a short or long tail model? In this deep dive into intellectual property rights, we discuss the opportunities and challenges involved in an upfront deal via a streaming platform, versus forging your own path over a long tail distribution rollout.
Moderated by producer Sue Maslin (Film Art Media) and featuring a host of right experts including Emma Madison (Head of Commercial and Industry Services, Screenrights), Jennifer Peedom (Producer/Director, Stranger Than Fiction Films), and Rufus Richardson (Documentary Executive, Madman Entertainment), this session aims to provide filmmakers with up-to-date information on making the most from your intellectual property and how best to monetise rights not only in primary screen content but also in impact campaigns and ancillaries.
