Irina Albita (FilmChain), in conversation with award-winning producers Paula Vaccaro (Pinball London) and Agustina Costa Varsi (Ambar Film Company)

This informative session will demystify concepts from often misunderstood finance and recoupment plans and delve into pitfalls and opportunities in negotiating with parties and closing the CAMA. As a case study, the producers and FilmChain will discuss the use of real-time CAM services for the award-winning film Diciannove/Nineteen, which premiered at Venice, TIFF and LFF in 2024. Furthermore, the speakers will offer valuable insights on how to turn a CAM service into your ally. In the Q&A, no question is a bad question, so we invite participants to participate, as the moderator will have an interactive approach to discussing complex topics and integrating the audience.
