The Korea Entertainment & Technology Strategic Sessions

Session I:   2:15 pm – 3:30 pm

From U.S. to Korea and Korea to U.S.: Licensing, Co-producing, Financing and Selling TV Content
International partnerships are becoming as crucial to the American content business as are directors and producers. This panel of top content executives will discuss and preview some of their current projects that involve Korea. Studios and production companies are looking to the foreign film model as a way to lower costs without jeopardizing the creation of innovative, dynamic and interactive content, and they’re recognizing Korea as one of the fastest growing markets and potentially a future market leader. Building on their experience of working with Korea, our panel also will predict opportunities to watch for in the coming years.
