Risks And Advantages Of Co-Production Agreements

Co-productions are big opportunities for film makers, directors and the cast as they bring artists from different nations together and create multinational pieces of art. They are also provided financial support based on certain eligibility criteria from national and EU authorities. On one hand they have financial, artistic and marketing advantages for the film but on the other hand, they involve some risks in relation to management of the project.

Creating a balanced structure both for day to day management and financial liabilities of parties is crucial for the co-production. If this balance is not established on a fair basis, even the co-producers with good intentions might find themselves in a dispute.
