We were delighted to host training for indie producers at TRC Media’s “International Horizons: Scripted” programme in our offices last week. The programme, backed by the British Film Institute (BFI), Creative Wales, Northern Ireland Screen and Screen Scotland, is designed to open up opportunities for indie producers’  in high-end drama for international markets, providing them with the skills, knowledge and networks necessary to thrive in international markets.

The delegates were a group of 9 carefully selected producers from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, and we were thrilled not only to host the day  but also share some of our own legal insights , with two talks delivered by L&T.

Film & TV Legal Director Alastair Mavor delivered a talk on co-production arrangements for scripted TV programmes covering IP, AI and Talent Deals, and the second talk on raising finance for scripted TV companies, streamer deals and what financial arrangements to expect when working with the major streaming entities, was delivered by L&T consultant Jeremy Gawade. Partner Lee Stone managed the event, which also counted industry speakers from Fremantle, Sky Studios and The Artist Partnership.
