LOCAL ROOTS, GLOBAL REACH Screen Singapore Final day
The road to success in non-scripted formats and factual programming in Asia.
Whether you are producing or commissioning programmes, whether you are creating ideas, selling or buying: the international business of entertainment is changing dramatically. But how do you develop an idea ‘from scratch to screen’ and build it into a business?
The international business of entertainment is complex, even for the most experienced players. Where do you scout what’s hot on the international marketplace and adapt it for the Asian market? And in return: How do you pitch and sell home-grown format ideas to international buyers? How do you develop a business case for your show and what are potential revenue streams? How do you do deals? How do you turn commissions into cash? How can you own and protect your entertainment properties? How does ‘digital’ change the game and how can you capitalise on the growing opportunities in social media, mobile and branded entertainment? How can newcomers break in to the market?
This 1-day event focuses on the essential ‘How To’ and targets producers and executives from across the entertainment industry who want to learn directly from international industry experts.
MIPACADEMY is produced by Reed MIDEM (producer of MIPTV & MIPCOM) and Reed Exhibitions Singapore in collaboration with The Entertainment Master Class and will take place in conjunction with Asia TV Forum and Market, in Singapore.
