Got a script in development? Have you thought about your audience?

Hear from Tony Bald at Paramount Pictures, Andrew Cozens at Madman, Nigel Forsyth at Studio Canal and Kelly Rogers at Rialto Distribution. Moderator Emma Slade talks to the panelists about what they look for and why, including genre and story elements, team, and at what stage of development they like to get on board. This talk took place on Thursday 9 November, 2017 at 6:15 pm at the Basement Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand.
