Meet the Buyers returns
In 2019 we have decided to present the traditional Meet the Buyers sessions as genre panel discussions. There will be no showreels, no lengthy introductions, just deep discussion straight out of the blocks.
What are broadcasters, networks and the streaming services looking for, how do Australian screen producers sell to them? Oh and what does “make local, sell global’ really mean in practical terms?
The discussion begins on the morning of Wednesday, 13 November, when we take a deep dive into the world of drama with Brian Walsh (Foxtel), Marshall Heald (SBS), Sally Riley (ABC) and Nick Forward (Stan). The conversation continues in the afternoon as we delve into the comedic realm with Rick Kalowski (ABC), Ben Richardson (Viacom), Nick Forward (Stan) and an executive from Netflix.
On Thursday, 14 November we turn our minds to documentary and factual content with Tanya Orman (NITV), Richard Huddleston (ABC), Darren Chau (Discovery) and Joseph Maxwell (SBS) before engaging in a panel on entertainment with Richard Huddleston (ABC); Josh Martin (SBS) and more speakers who will be announced in the coming weeks.
