What former participants say
- The Art of Negotiating Agreements for Film and TV is an absolute must for any film executive willing to step up their game in successfully negotiating any kind of deal, while securing solid and long lasting relationships. As a plus, the workshop sheds valuable insight on how to monetize your content in the new digital landscape.
Marta Vaz de Sousa, Same Same Film Production, Portugal - The course was really interesting in learning about the psychology behind negotiation, about how to relate to the other party to listen and try and understand what is it they want or need. The combination of lectures and exercises is well thought off and are complementary to each other. The lunches and dinners are great ways to get the know the other participants and talk more about what we have learned in a more informal sfere.
Hanneke Bosman, Leviate Film, The Netherlands - This seminar will make you a better negotiator! A highly professional set-up, excellent experts and engaged colleagues. And most surprising: Germans can actually be entertaining and funny teachers!
