Webinar

Recorded on May 11, 2026

Building on the foundational mindset introduced in the first webinar, this session dives into the practical realities producers face when attaching U.S. actors, directors, and writers to Canadian and international projects. Featuring Dina Appleton (EVP, Global Business & Legal Affairs, Cineflix Media and author of Hollywood Dealmaking) and Kate Sangster Poole (SVP, Business & Legal Affairs, Blink49 Studios), the discussion will offer expert insight into navigating cross-border expectations and deal structures.

This session will provide a high-level overview of the key considerations when working with U.S. talent, including strategic fit, union and guild frameworks, and how these relationships impact financing, production, and distribution. Designed for producers operating in a global marketplace, it will offer practical context and guidance to help approach these negotiations with greater clarity and confidence.
