Production/distribution year in review
Creativity and flexibility were unquestionably the essential ingredients for success in the production/distribution sector this past year. With the global advertising slowdown shrinking many kids programming budgets and putting downward pressure on already-low license fees, traditionally pivotal markets like the U.S., the U.K. and Germany offered far fewer commission and presale opportunities this year, making it difficult to get shows off the ground. Investment capital raised on the stock market used to be the answer to production shortfall, but that well also dried up this year.
