Equity investment: dreams, reality and hopes. Where is the money the sector needs today?

The need for money to invest into the production of audiovisual content and feature film has never been greater. Today, in order to gather the budget to match our ambitions in terms of content and produce high-end fiction, we need to turn ourselves to alternatives ways of financing. How can independent production companies use private equity to fund new and ambitious content? Production fund, cash flow, slate funding, gap loan financing, equity capital financing… what are the different shapes and shades of equity? And how can we address with them the real needs of the sector today?
