very short film comes with its own set of legal, financial and insurance challenges. In this session, Triple Exposure will guide you through the essentials of managing these complexities, offering practical advice that can be applied to any short film project. Using a case study of a docudrama inspired by real life events, they’ll break down the key steps, from optioning a book and securing scriptwriter agreements to navigating film finance and production finance agreements, cast and contributor agreements and compliance (to name but a few).

This session is designed to equip young filmmakers with the knowledge and confidence to handle the behind-the-scenes logistics of production. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to tackle the legal, financial and insurance elements essential to bringing your creative vision to life.
