PRODUCING IN 2020
in collaboration with TIES THAT BIND
moderated by TTB Head of Studies Christophe Bruncher - Ici et Là Productions (France)
A producer is always in action with several film projects at various stages: in development, in production, pre-production, distribution. To what extent was the lockdown an inspirational break or a threat to the survival of the company and individual productions? How to make plans for the future, facing the unknown? What kind of films will emerge from this period? What will be the future of international cooperation? From Asia to Europe, two established producers and group leaders of the Ties That Bind programme, Jonas Weydemann (Weydemann Bros., DE) and Bianca Balbuena (Epicmedia Productions, PH) share with us their insights, reflections and reactions to the lockdown and their plans for the future.
