Set to be held over the next year, the series will focus on the theme \u201cFrom Screen to Shelf.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kicking off on 01 August from 10am-12pm at Paramount\u2019s office in Camden, young licensing industry professionals will gain insights into the process of creating an animated series from Love Love Films. The independent production company\u2019s preschool show Pop Paper City<\/em> is a hit on Milkshake and executives Georgina Hurcombe and George Caton-Coult will discuss the process of bringing an animated series to the screen, covering everything from the development of the initial idea to funding, script development, and sales. <\/p>\n Future Coffee & Connect events will explore strategy, creative, manufacturing, and retail.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to partner with the Light Fund on this new initiative,\u201d<\/em> said Steve Manners, Head of Global Marketing and UK Managing Director at Licensing International<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019ve been in the industry for over 30 years and really had no understanding of how a show is financed or the process a production company needs to go through and yet, over my career, I have worked on many animated shows. Similarly, we know the cost-of-living crises, inflation, and shipping costs have really affected licensees. But how? This is a chance to really delve into the realities that different players in the industry face and for our young industry professionals to gain a deeper understanding of every aspect of the licensing landscape.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
