Money, Money, Money... so how do we raise that £5million for a production in animation?  
 
There is no shortage of talent in the UK and we are world leaders in story, design and production - but the limiting factor is how many projects can actually get funded.  
 
One of the issues producers face is that each successful project seems to have a different finance model, so how do producers work out how exactly they can raise the money needed to fund their project? How does the new animation tax credit work and what happens now the YAC Fund is being closed?  How do you manage pre-sales and where does the money come from? 
 
Today we will hear from our expert panellists from across all forms of tax, finance and distribution who will share their wisdom and give you some tips on getting those productions green-lit! 
 
As producer myself, I have to face these exact issues and can share some examples of projects I’ve managed to finance as well as asking those experts how things stand now in what seems to be an ever changing marketplace! Come prepared with your questions or email me in advance of the session if you want me to ask those questions you were always too afraid to ask!

Get Retailing...

Every animator wants to inspire devotion in their audiences and to create characters that have a lasting impact.  To make that little short that grows and grows to become a series, a movie, a theatre show, a toy range and a treasured memory that transcends generations - Richard Hollis
