Working with Sales Agents:
Ennis Hensley, President of International Sales & Distribution, The Weinstein Company:
– “As a sales agent, we’re looking for interesting ideas – if it’s the right expectation, the right budget, the right plan.”
Clay Epstein, SVP Sales & Acquisitions, Arclight Films
– “As distributions are getting more selective, our way of getting attention is with a big name star. Independent film needs intrinsic value.”
Navigating the VOD Landscape:
Lise Romanoff, Managing Director/CEO Worldwide Distribution, Vision Films
– “The marketing of a film has now become the single most important thing….we’re working with the talent….when googling it’s really important that your film comes up.”
Paul Davidson, SVP, Film & TV, The Orchard
– “In my world we’re spending. But we want to be smart about how we’re spending…you’re looking at the assets that are coming to the table…you always want your talent to get involved.”
– “Every piece of art needs to be tailored for the social media platform.”
