BoF #45 – Co-Productions and Film Financing with Rob Heydon

Welcome back to Business of Film, episode 45. This episode is a goodey. We have with us film producer, Rob Heydon. Rob recently shot Ecstacy, the adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s book, and the soon to be released Roger Spottiswood feature, Midnight Sun. I’ve known Rob for a while and it’s a pleasure to have him on the show with us. We go into some pretty nifty topics including: – Co-Production Stucturing – How long it can take to get a film off the ground? – How many times the financing for Ecstasy fell appart? – The most wonderful analogy for independent film financing. – The biggest hurdles and indie film producer must face. And of course much, much more. Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoy this episode. Please leave us a review on iTunes, it really helps, and we appreciate it. We’ll even send you a digital muffin.
