High profile speakers attend 'Show Me The Money'

An impressive line-up of senior distribution executives and independents with experience of the international marketplace were present at 'Show Me The Money', the one-day event organised by Pact and the British Television Distributors' Association (BTDA).
The event, held on June 5 at the RSA in London, was specifically about the value of the international marketplace and the cost of distribution.
Included in the speaker line-up were Rupert Dilnott Cooper (Carlton International), Ian Jones (Granada International), Paul Sowerbutts (Channel 4 International), Christina Willoughby (Chrysalis Distribution), John McVay (Pact), Alex Graham (Wall to Wall), Katy Thorogood (Discovery) and Oliver Ellis (Entertainment Rights).
The idea behind Show Me The Money was to unlock the value of rights, but also to bring producers and distributors closer together.
Nuts and bolts sessions looked at the value of the international marketplace – the major territories and the revenues that can be garnered from each – and the cost of distribution, what is required to set up and maintain a distribution arm.
