The Film Junction Market Mentor programme will partner promising feature film producers, who have made one or more films or equivalent creative content, with established DISTRIBUTORS who will act as personal mentors throughout the programme duration. Participants will be able to consider the development of their projects with direct market knowledge at an early stage, whilst also considering their company and business planning. Consideration will be given to the evolving market and business practices, including the producer/distributor relationship and deal terms, whilst presenting networking and opportunities to share knowledge with the cohort.

This programme builds on and is complimentary to the previous Film Junction Producer Mentoring scheme, whilst also standing alone as a programme for new applicants from across the UK.

Mentor structure:

Each producer will identify a slate of projects in their application. Prior to the first session, producers will be matched with distributors, and they will discuss their slate with their mentor and agree which project they will concentrate on during the programme. They will subsequently meet no less than 3 times as the project package is developed for market.
