Planning and executing
co-productions
The second, development-focused module of our CMPA STAR Producer Program was centred on planning and executing co-production projects.
Webinars
On April 28, 2021, the CMPA hosted a webinar to kickoff module two of the STAR Producer Program. The discussion was targeted at producers who were interested in learning more about the “how’s and whys” of co-production and co-development projects.
The discussion featured Susan King from Telefilm Canada and Nathalie Clermont from the CMF and was moderated by the CMPA’s Sarolta Csete.
On June 8, 2021, drawing on their professional experiences, four Canadian producers with wide and varied production backgrounds provided practical advice to help attendees map out successful international co-production projects. Panelists:
- Christina Piovesan – First Generation Films
- Ina Fichman – Intuitive Pictures
- Aonan Yang – GreenGround Productions
- Amos Adetuyi – Circle Blue Entertainment
