At the 2024 conference, panelists sketched out the opportunities and challenges of independent production. It is an audience revolution not only in the United States, but also in France and Italy. It has signed with US Studio Investment and revised US union shooting costs. According to Sutherland, one later solution would be for US producers to look to Europe. Participants in 2025 can be expected to pick up that conversation as they address topics of discussion, such as the new European studio model. What private investors are looking for in 2025. The way producers continue their agile work beyond the global growth of series, films, national boundaries and Latin American content. Sarah Sarah Schweitzman and Peter Dakich of CAA Media Finance will also be taking part in the conference and, together with Sutherland, will ease some talks, as well as advisor Wendy Mitchell, the representative of the San Sebastian Festival.
