With the recent demise of Silicon Valley Bank, omnipresent inflation across the country, and uncertainty surrounding film distribution across the industry, we are in a precarious time in the film and television industry. The US, and global, economic climate is under significant pressure across multiple areas including inflation, bank failures, and employment layoffs across numerous industries, and these economic hurdles are creating uncertainty in the entertainment industry. It is crucial for filmmakers, writers, producers, and anyone working in the entertainment industry to have a firm grasp of how the global financial situation is affecting the film and television market. However, it is difficult to discern what is going on in the global markets, much less what the implications are and will be for entertainment. How do these economic factors impact the film and television sector?

Long considered a recession resistant industry - if not an entirely recession proof industry - entertainment companies, projects, and producers are currently grappling with an economic reality that is unique to the last 20 years with a perfect storm of increased union wage expenses for creating content with union members, coupled with increased capital costs to finance projects, and paired with decreased streaming purchase prices as the SVOD business model comes under more pressure.

So how can you best position yourself for success in film and television amongst the copious amounts of uncertainty in the global financial markets and resulting turmoil in the entertainment industry?

In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you will learn from the CEO and co-founder of Bondit Capital, Matthew Helderman, about the realities of the current economic environment and how the economic climate is affecting the film and television industries. Under Matthew’s leadership, Bandit has financed dozens of films including PARADISE CITY starring Bruce Willis and John Travolta, MINDCAGE starring Martin Lawrence and John Malkovich, and the cult classic CLERKS 3.

Matthew will share his expertise to ensure you know how to best navigate and even thrive within these economic circumstances to get your projects made.

PLUS! Matthew will provide you with an exclusive handout on "Today's Finance Structure in the Global Banking Market" that will guide you through financing your next project.
