This workshop covered the entire gamut of a creative producer’s role on a fiction feature film – from finding a good script and story to attaching the right elements; the director-producer relationship and their creative collaboration, raising and structuring financing and being strategic when it comes to distribution and marketing. The workshop also looked at opportunities offered by digital platforms like Netflix and Amazon.
14 renowned Lebanese producers and filmmakers had the chance to attend the workshop and benefit from Alix’s expertise.
Through interactive sessions, the participants had the opportunity to apply the concepts learned to their own projects by pitching and discussing them with Alix
Such collaborations with the American cinema industry is very important, especially that the Lebanese cinema industry is mainly open to European co-productions such as France, Belgium and Germany, and opening to a new industry is beneficial for the Lebanese cinema scene.[/fusion_text][slider width=”90%” height=”90%” class=”” id=””][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”no”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0006-e1489590955564.jpg[/slide][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”no”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0003.jpg[/slide][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”no”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0004.jpg[/slide][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”yes”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0007.jpg[/slide][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”yes”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0008.jpg[/slide][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”yes”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0009-e1489590992163.jpg[/slide][slide type=”image” link=”” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”yes”]http://l5i.c3c.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG-20170315-WA0011-e1489591043536.jpg[/slide][/slider]
