Description

Join Liz Tang, head of UK content and acquisitions at Fox Entertainment Global, for an exploration of how Australian projects are assessed when acquiring for international distribution - from evaluation to investment.

This session is intended to help local producers frame projects in ways that reduce perceived distributor and buyer risk.

Discussion will unpack the creative, commercial, and market factors unique to Australian content, how track record (producer, talent, commissioner) mitigates risk, the role of international presales and co-production partners vs post-launch performance, and why some Australian shows stand out for investment more than others.
