Netribution's Plans at Cannes 2007

As Cannes puts the finishing touches to its 60th edition, we're just making plans for the launch there of our new world funding book on May 16th.  With information on funding and tax incentives in over 50 countries, details of more than 1000 funds around the world,  a new chapter on the Internet, 400 entry glossary and significantly expanded information about low and microbudget production, production finance, the new UK, German and US tax incentives, and approaching the industry, it runs at a whopping 480 pages and hopefully covers everything you could need to know.

To support this we're pleased to say we are an official partner of the Cannes Marche Producers Network. In addition fellow author Adam P Davies, who has consulted on some 200 features, is speaking on a number of panels, including the International Chamber of Commerce's conference on film finance and distribution, the Producers Network itself, and Independent Feature Project (IFP)'s panel on film finance.

NB - to be the first to know when our book goes on sale - just register at Netribution, we will send you an email!
