ASK ME ANYTHING IS BACK!

Are you feeling stuck with the film project at hand? Join a free consultation to get insights on distribution, sales and festival strategies, which training programs are right for you and your team, or which co-production markets or co-financing platforms to go to and what the right timing is.

  • have the chance to take an in-depth look at one of DAE’s services, such as the DAE Calendars and DAE’s list of consultants.
