If you're a filmmaker, screenwriter or producer seeking to sell and\/or distribute your content, looking to work on a consistent basis and, hopeful in building a long lasting career in the industry, you must be paying attention to what's happening \u003cem\u003earound the world\u003c\/em\u003e. The international entertainment industry now contributes to over 70% of the theatrical releases and box office receipts across the globe. And many estimate that number will grow over the coming years. But it's not just film that has seen this global expansion, television and digital content has exploded outside of the U.S. as well. Not to mention, many of the streaming platforms are now looking for film, television and other short form content that will play with a U.S. audience, but will be especially popular in specific regions overseas. So where do you begin to look where others aren't, expand your prospects and give yourself a competitive advantage? Well, right here, of course!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor many, navigating the international market presents a black hole. Where can one find producers, financiers, representatives and development execs who serve these markets? How do you know what the trends are and how you may best serve them? How do you know the mandates of streamers, distributors and sales agents? Do you have a story already in hand that can be tweaked to serve an international audience?
