HIFILM MASTERCLASS: Max Geschwind

What does it take to get an independent film financed and sold today? CAA’s Max Geschwind provides an inside look at packaging, financing, festivals, sales, and distribution in a market with fewer buyers and increasing consolidation. Drawing on his work with CAA Media Finance, Geschwind will break down what financiers and distributors are looking for, what makes a package stand out, and how producers can navigate the current festival and sales landscape. A candid, practical conversation with actionable strategies for positioning projects and getting films financed, sold, and seen.
