Independent producers, copyright holders and content companies are struggling to survive and prosper in an increasingly complex media environment. Convergence of television and the internet is virtually here. Retaining as many rights as possible and knowing where and how to exploit them is absolutely essential. Janson Media is available to help guide producers through a variety of rights and financing issues relating to both production and distribution. We can help clarify most of the complexities of distribution via the Public Broadcasting Service. We can provide a better understanding of the "rights language" of the new media landscape. We can give you the pulse of the international marketplace, the homevideo/DVD marketplace, the non-theatrical/educational marketplace, the inflight, VOD, IPTV, and mobile rights marketplace, and the overall environment for production and co-production. For projects in development or in production, or finished programs or series' pilots, we can provide evaluations in terms of their production quality, their presentation quality, and their overall marketability and potential for sale to both American and international television and/or DVD-video markets. We can also recommend companies (networks or distributors) which could be a logical fit for your project, and provide rough revenue estimates. We can even help with the negotiation of major deal points in production or license agreements with television networks, offering experience with contracts that rivals that of the best entertainment attorneys. For public television projects, we can help with the search for corporate underwriters and sponsors, or merely provide marketing plans and revenue projections for projects still in the fund-raising stage. We can also manage the public television syndication and station-relations campaign for fully-underwritten programs. We also provide a content sourcing service for major media companies seeking large libraries of programming for new media ventures or cable, satellite, IPTV, or VOD launches. Our consultants offer a wide range of expertise in the business of content production and distribution. Consulting and advisory sessions often take the form of telephone conferences, scheduled after a thorough review of available materials (screening materials, presentations, etc.). Clients may also request half-day or full-day in-person meetings with our consultants, which must be scheduled well in advance and which entail travel expenses. Our consultants are also available on monthly retainers for longterm projects such as program sourcing, or weekly retainers to work at specific conferences, festivals and markets. Please inquire as to their availability for speaking engagements or as panelists at conferences or workshops. So, please let us know about your project and your budget -- complete this form and we will respond promptly. You can choose the consultant with the kind of experience that would be the best fit for your project, or we will do it for you. |
