Together with one of my producing partners at Shake The Tree Productions, Samantha Bowen, we are excited to meet in Cannes this year (our very first visit to the market) to share our exciting slate of original content.
Our slate is ambitious with an eclectic mix of genres in film and television with a range of romantic comedies, thrillers, action adventure, dramas, faith based, family, sports, true crime, and edgy black comedies.
And as we look to find financiers, sales agents, distributors, and co-producers...can anyone help us navigate the market other than the cold, bold, email prep we've been doing?
Even though we are an experienced team that's been around for a while, any insights on how to create opportunities as a new face at this market?
Would love some advice and community support. Thanks Stage 32 family. :)
