TV Drama Festival to Spotlight Changing Role of Distributors

Eccho Rights’ Fredrik af Malmborg and Dynamic Television’s Dan March will discuss the evolving role of distributors during the TV Drama Festival, taking place October 3 to 5. You can register here for free.

Af Malmborg is CEO and co-founder of Eccho Rights. March is managing partner of Dynamic Television. Together, the executives will shed light on shifts in financing and co-production models and what’s expected now from distributors when it comes to packaging and marketing projects.
