Business affairs
Ten years of making documentaries for Canadian broadcasters taught me the business side as well as the creative. Through Sentio Films I run business affairs for independent producers, so directors can stay focused on the film.
Financing structures, budgets and cash flow for documentary features and series.
Applications and reporting for CMF, ISO and provincial programs, from development through production.
Chain of title, director and rights agreements, and the paperwork funders and broadcasters ask for.
Cost reports, final payments and delivery so the last cheque actually arrives.
