"Send me the next draft of your script" is something often heard when saying goodbye after a market meeting, but getting back to industry moguls and eager producers or financiers after they initially showed interest is easier said than done. Meeting many people during a few festival days, recognising everybody and remembering who‘s working on which project, is an art in itself.
How to stay in touch successfully is the focus of this panel‘s experts will focus on. What are the best ways to follow up after that first meeting? Is there a right moment? Who is the right person to contact in a company? And what will these people really want from you? Is the script enough? What else may help your project stand out from the crowd? And last but not least: how do you develop a personal style in following up? Experienced producers and market professionals will talk about the practical do's and don'ts and discuss how following up the right way is a skill which both filmmakers and financiers can benefit from.
