Financing your film or TV project is only part of the funding jigsaw. Once the monies are in, how do you manage the process of recoupment?

When bringing investors and financiers on board it is important to provide a clear picture of how your project's profits will be paid out, the order in which investors will be paid back and in what time frame.

In this webinar Maria Tanjala - Co-Founder of FilmChain - will discuss how to set up an effective system for managing recoupment.

Topics covered will include:

Creating a recoupment schedule
Understanding different financing structures and equity investment
Guidelines for priority of allocation and disbursement of entitlements
Rules of thumb and commonly accepted practices
Effectively using Blockchain and other technologies, such as FilmChain
Ensuring that your IP rights are exploited
