Recoupment Waterfall

Monday, April 26 (10.00am and 7.00pm).

Presented by Andrena Finlay and Emma Madison (Screenrights)

Overview:

Being able to confidently explain how the revenue flows back to stakeholders is a vital part of securing investment and is a complex and detailed process. In this Skills Lab you will be taken through two recoupment waterfalls – one television and one feature film. Using these examples, you will gain an understanding of the various deductions of commissions and charges, the net result back to the producer, and the disbursement of income to investors and profit participants.

Lab Presenter: Andrena Finlay & Emma Madison
