Charles Auty of Elevate Production Finance, Sarah Gooding of financial management platform Centtrip and Luke Carey of London-based media law firm Lee & Thompson will take part in Screen Summit: Building on the UK’s Global Success, in a panel to discuss how producers can optimise the value of their productions.
They will take part in a session called ’Ask The Experts: Follow The Money’ to talk about equity financing, cash management, and navigating contracts and IP rights.
The interactive session will see the audience put questions to Auty, a leading international film financier at Elevate which has invested a combined loan value of more than AU$346m in film and TV productions, including Eden and Three Thousand Years Of Longing.
Gooding of financial management platform Centtrip will explain how the product gives producers oversight of the entire financing process from start to finish, including control over the cost of moving money in multiple currencies.
Carey is a senior associate in London-based media law firm Lee & Thompson’s film and TV group. He is a specialist in IP and has almost 10 years of film production experience.
