The producer's task to bring together filmmakers with com---pel--ling stories and professionals who are able to shoot, (script) edit, post-produce and sell the film hasn't become easier with European co-production regulations. Increasingly, reality on the ground requires several parts of the filmmaking process to be divided amongst professionals working all over the continent. Successful film producers Britta Knöller, David Thion and Tomas Leyers, whose projects were supported by MEDIA, talk about how they managed to maximise co-production and bring together the best professionals in Europe. Together with MEDIA Development representative Soon-Mi Peten, the producers will discuss how MEDIA, aware of these complexities, assists producers and filmmakers by preparing them to find the right people abroad and to ensure that the films reach the audience. Over the past 16 years, MEDIA, the EU's support programme for the European audiovisual industry, has supported the development and distribution of thousands of films as well as training activities, festivals and promotion projects throughout the continent. MEDIA is one of the Berlinale Talent Campus’ most essential partners.
