ENTER Europe - Smart Investment In The Film Industry
Equity investors tend to mainly think of financing the production of a movie when considering their engagement. Knowing how difficult it is to predict a film’s performance at the bos office, they know that this is a risky business.
An ex-banker explains how structured finance reduces the traditionally high investment risks in the film sector, which criteria help with identifying suitable investment propositions, how deals terms look like and when revenues start to flow back into investor’s pockets.
Investors will be able to openly discuss practical investment cases and strategies as well as their particular questions. The workshop has a limited number of seats and will be organised as a round table.
