EAVE IMPACT looks at the post-festival life of films as they head to SVoD

In the fifth episode of the second season of EAVE IMPACT ONE-TO-ONE (see the news), finance expert and the founder of Ideal Filmworks Italia, which specialises in co-production and sales, Linda Beath, and the founder of sales company, digital distributor and video aggregator LevelK, Tine Klint, try to pinpoint the ideal moment for a film to finish its festival run and be released on other platforms, and which marketing tools are needed for such a move.

Klint shares her experience working on films that she had to release digitally and identifies the true threats posed by such a decision.
