Hangout with Irina Albita, cofounder of FilmChain
We are delighted to host Irina Albita in a conversation about FilmChain, an innovative fintech solution for money workflow.
This informative workshop demystifies finance and recoupment plans, then shows practical pitfalls and opportunities when negotiating with counterparties and closing the CAMA. Producers leave with a tight checklist and a playbook for real-time CAM.
- Recoupment made clear: what to include, how to model waterfalls, who gets paid and when
- CAMA essentials: fees, reporting rights, analytics
- Pitfalls to avoid: around timings and negotiations with your partners
