With a world-wide network of offices Film Finances is a leader in feature film and television co-production bonding. Film Finances Australasia has been involved in numerous co-productions and multiparty co-productions, many official and some unofficial. Some examples include Australia with New Zealand, the UK, Germany, France, Canada, Singapore and China, plus New Zealand with the UK and Denmark. China in particular is a popular destination for producers at present. Film Finances China has a vibrant and busy office based in Shanghai which has already serviced a number of productions. While many approaches have come from Australian or New Zealand producers we are now also seeing Chinese initiated requests. April Ye heads up the China office and she brings an extensive background in both offshore and local production from Skyfall, Mission Impossible 111 and even as far back as Southern Star’s Australian TV series Spellbinder. April has an extensive knowledge of China’s film industry from detailed knowledge of all production areas including budgeting, equipment, locations and talent to a strong connection with China film bureau. She and her team can help ensure producing partners have an in-depth understanding of the government film production policy in China. In addition we have access to a Chinese escrow account to facilitate cash flow and financial security. |
