Into The Lion’s Gate
Not sure if any of you would care out there or would even take a few moments to review this Lions Gate Investor Report but it is DEFINITELY worth sharing if you want to take a crash course in Hollywood Film/TV/Content Studio Business.
Lions Gate Films is an interesting case study because they have NO PARENT CO. and are a legit film studio in an era where everyone is struggling to do it right.
So when you look at their 2010 Annual Report you see a clear cut financial analysis of entertainment assets in film and TV with a few back-end entertainment business elements such as investments in other entertainment properties as well as film library assets acquired from fallen studios in the past.
For me, it was an interesting look back into the rabbit hold of film biz 101 and really insightful.
What’s also fascinating about Lions Gate is that they prove if you have a low-risk high targeted model, then odds are you can come out on top, see this LA Times article written just last week.
Have to tip your hat to the LGF family for being consistent in one of the toughest businesses in the world.

Creative Opportunities: FILM
The Hamptons International Film Festival’s Screenwriters’ Lab, going into its 11th year, is an intimate gathering that takes place each Spring in East Hampton, New York (April 15 – 17, 2011). The Lab develops emerging screenwriting talent by pairing established writers & creative producers with up-and-coming screenwriters (chosen by HIFF in collaboration with key industry contacts). The mentors advise in a one-on-one creative laboratory setting while additional events bring the participants together with board members, sponsors, the local artistic community, and other friends of the festival. With scripts from past writers produced year after year, the Lab continues to be a safe and inspiring place for artists to find and hone their creative vision.
Recent mentors at the lab include Michael Cunningham (The Hours, Evening); James Vanderbilt (Zodiac); Billy Frolick (Madagascar); J.D. Zeik (Ronin); J. Robin Baitz (People I Know, The Substance of Fire); Whit Stillman (Metropolitan, The Last Days of Disco); Ira Sachs (40 Shades of Blue, This Married Life); Jeff Sharp (Producer, You Can Count on Me, Evening); Maria Maggenti (The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love); Sabrina Dhawan (Monsoon Wedding, Cosmopolitan); Gregory Widen (Highlander, Backdraft); Mark Christopher (54); Maggie Greenwald (Songcatcher, Ballad of Little Jo); Lawrence Lasker (Sneakers, War Games); Chap Taylor (Changing Lanes, National Treasure); and Dylan Kidd (Roger Dodger, P.S.).
Screenwriters’ Lab: Science & Technology Screenplays
We seek a broad selection of screenplays addressing a wide subject matter. Additionally, in collaboration with The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s initiative in furthering the public understanding of science, we encourage writers to submit screenplays that explore science, technology, mathematics, invention, and engineering in fresh and innovative ways.
Deadlines are:
Early Bird Deadline, Dec. 3rd
Regular Deadline, Dec. 22nd
Late Deadline, Jan 7th
WAB Extended Deadline, Jan 21st
