Before filming internationally, do you know how to qualify as a co-production or which countries have treaties? If this sounds confusing, don’t worry. Let us unravel the uncertainty and misnomers to get you on your way!
In this webinar led by Joe Chianese, SVP & Incentives Practice Leader, learn about the basics of co-productions, including which countries offer them, the various types of co-production (there are more than one!), the benefits and drawbacks, and how and why a production would want to leverage a co-production relationship, with special focus on the UK, Canada and Australia.
