China Warms Up to Indie Titles
Chinas booming box office the countryis on pace to pass North America tobecome the worlds largest theatrical
market sometime next year has independentfilmmakers around the globe wondering howthey can get a piece.
Until now, however, the China boom has been
fueled by, and benefited, Chinese and Hollywoodblockbusters, with few indie or alternative filmseven getting into the country, much less makingany money.
But the Chinese film sector is changing fast, andthere are signs that a niche market for art house
films could be emerging. Chinese auteur Jia Zhangkehad his first-ever local release last year withMountains May Depart, which grossed a healthy$5 million. Diao Yinans noir thrillerBlack Coal, ThinIce, winner of the Berlin Festivals Silver Bear in2014, grossed a stunning $16.5 million in China.
Theres a younger generation growing up in
China, and while, right now, they might want bigblockbusters and broad local comedies, their tastesare changing. An audience for films outside theHollywood mold is starting to emerge, says RikkeEnnis of Danish art house specialists Zentropa,

There may be plenty of dramas being sold inBerlin this year, but its the slew of buzzycomedies with A-list talent that have buyers
clamoring for lighter, funny fare.The first big sale of the festival was for a comedy
the George Clooney-helmedSuburbicon, abouta quiet neighborhood that gets caught up in aweb of betrayal and paranoia, was scooped up byParamount in a big $10 million deal for U.S. rights.With stars Matt Damonand Julianne Mooreattached,the package is expected to do strong sales interna-tionally as well, with Bloom already fielding plentyof interest.
At a time when this business is getting much
tougher and were all looking for things that willdraw an audience to come to the cinema, humor isone of the things that is still a shared experience,says Mister Smith CEO David Garrett, whos sellingBroad Greens dance comedyAint No Half Steppingat the market. If you want to get people tocome and watch something, its about sharingemotions onscreen.
Among the high-profile comedies attractingbuyers isDrunk Parents, starringSalma Hayekand
Alec Baldwin. Fortitude International has sold theFred Wolf-helmed film to eOne for Canada andDutch FilmWorks for Benelux, and more saleshave quickly followed. LikeDrunk Parents, otherhot properties come with notable comedic talentattached, like the just-announcedAn Ideal Home,which stars Paul Ruddand Steve Cooganas a troubledmarried couple.
Its hard to package independent comediesbecause most big comedies get done at the studioswhere the actors are paid big bucks, says Fortitudeco-founder Nadine de Barros, but many of theseprojects have an edge or are a little darker, so thatcan be fun for actors.
Other buzzy packages with notable talentinclude The Brits Are Comingwith Uma ThurmanandSofia Vergara, The Clapper with Ed Helms, Toms Dadwith Will Ferrelland The Big Sick, which is writtenby and will starSilicon Valleys Kumail Nanjianiand isproduced byJudd Apatow.
Internationally, comedies also have the advantage
of working well across multiple platforms, includingtelevision and VOD, so buyers can essentially getmore bang for their buck.
Its becoming harder and harder for buyers tomake money on movies, and TV is one of the fewsources of revenue le. Comedies play well ontelevision, especially in Europe, adds de Barros,who notes that in countries like France, women areknown as the main audience for VOD and are alsothe most interested in comedies.

A
mid a recent surge indocs that emerge from the
discovery of once-thought-lost film footage, few can claim tohave a history as eye-catching asAaron Brookners touching UncleHoward, made possible thanks toan archive stash buried in WilliamS. Burroughs near-mythicalNew York residence, located in aconverted YMCA swimming poollocker room and affectionatelydubbed The Bunker.
It was in this near-window-less Lower East Side apartment featuring two large marbleurinals in the bathroom, spiceson the spice rack dated 1978 andBurroughs own handgun in thedresser draw where Aaronfound five years worth of footagestored by his uncle, the late film-maker Howard Brookner.
Howard died of AIDS at age34 in 1989, shortly before therelease of what would have been
his breakout featureBloodhoundsof Broadway(featuring the fresh
faces of Madonnaand Matt Dillon).Worried that the memory of theman who inspired him to getinto filmmaking was being lostand that he might die a seconddeath, Aaron set out to discovermore about his uncle.
His first route was a wildgoose chase for anything con-nected to Howards 1983 filmBurroughs: The Movie, the onlydoc to be made with full partic-ipation of the legendary writer.This eventually led to stacks andstacks and stacks of [film] rollshe uncovered in The Bunker thatrevealed more about Howardthan they did about Burroughs.
It was like Howard and hisstory had been frozen in 89 andsuddenly it was reawakened justby the act of looking for thisBurroughs film, says Aaron.

As a film student, Howardworked as an usher at theMetropolitan Opera House,while at the same time he wasscoring dope on the Lower EastSide, while at the same time hewas working for a big Italianland-owning family in Little Italyrenting out apartments, he said.
It was through this work thatHoward landed indie filmmakerJim Jarmuschhis first apartment,on Elizabeth Street.
Meanwhile, he was helping out
a friend who was writing pornobooks, and, actually, he andBurroughs co-authored a pornobook, says Aaron, who says hisuncles adventures extendedoutside the U.S. I go into abookstore and start reading thememoir of Frederic Mitterrand,the French culture minister, andtheres a chapter called HowardBrookner about Howard in Pariswith the Burroughs film. Therewere all these incredible differentsides to the guy.
The very first discovery Aaronmade before developing thefilm was a letter to Howards par-ents, written when he was ill andexclaiming that he had done morewith his life than most peoplewho lived to be in their 80s.
Says Aaron, When I startedto find out what he did, I realizedit was absolutely true.

time to shoot in Eastern Europe (even if yourmovie is set on Mars) BY NICK HOLDSWORTH
WHEN A GROUP OFLITHUANIA N AND POLISH FILMproducers set out to sail from one Baltic seaport toanother in September, it was not simply a nauticaljaunt. The two-day voyage, aboard the 120-foot-long
twin-mast schooner Brabander, brought together a dozen film profes-sionals with a ra of potential joint projects to discuss.
The voyage from Klaipeda in Lithuania to Gdynia in Poland, thebrainchild of Liana Ruokyte-Jonsson, head of film promotion, informa-tion and heritage at the Lithuanian Film Center, was designed tofocus attention on a small filmmaking nation that is competing withothers in Eastern Europe to attract international co-productions.

CASE STUDY: ANTHROPOID
Shooting on location in Prague was
a natural choice for the producers
ofAnthropoid, British director Sean
Ellis new wartime thriller that stars
Jamie Dornanand is based on the
true story of the assassination of
Reinhard Heydrich, the SS general
who was the author of the Nazis Final
Solution meant to eradicate the Jews
in Europe. The British plan involved
parachuting Czech agents into the
German-occupied country to carry
out the killing. The exact location of
Heydrichs assassination has changed
beyond recognition, but many of the
original sites,
including a church
where the secret
agents were
trapped and killed
by the Germans,
still exist, lending
authenticity to
the film. Daria
Spackova, man-
aging director of
local co-producers Lucky Many Films,says the Czech Republic system could
not have worked better. The incen-
tives system is clearly arranged and
simple, she says. Lucky Many used
the rebates for its previous film, Lost
in Munich, and plans to apply again
for its next project, Zatopek, both from
Czech directors.
INCENTIVES
A cash rebate system features per-
cent available for qualifying Czech
spending and percent for interna-
tional spending that applies to film and
TV, including all postproduction work.
Where once Hollywood and international producers could picklow-cost territories to shoot in the region based on currency value,location and crew availability, the expansion of the European Union,economic growth and globalization have now combined to create amore level playing field.
Attempts to gain an advantage by introducing tax incentivesprompted a race to offer 20 percent to 30 percent cash or tax rebatesthat rapidly produced near-identical offers. Even tiny Estonia, with apopulation of about 1.3 million, offers rebates worth up to 30 percent.Now the rivals are emphasizing their unique attractions as well asfinancial incentives as outlined here:

CASE STUDY: THE MARTIAN
Ridley Scottchose Hungarys Korda Studios to film The Martianbecause it has some of the
largest and tallest soundstages in Europe. The films production team took over the studios,
located miles west of Budapest, and built the Mars plain using , tons of local soil
on a massive ,-square-foot soundstage where Matt Damons astronaut character
battles the Red Planets elements. Other sets, including a NASA Mission Control Room, were
constructed on the studios five other stages. Korda boasts a total of nearly , square
feet of soundstages, with the tallest reaching feet, and has a -acre empty backlot and acres of ready-built medieval, renaissance and New York City sets. Producer Howard
Ellisof Budapest-based Mid Atlantic Films, which he runs with co-founder Adam Goodman,
notes that Hungarys long-established and generous incentives system was instrumental
in bringing yet another Hollywood production to the country. Right now, Hungary has a
rare combination that is not found in any other location outside of the U.S., Canada and the
U.K., he says. The talent and maturity of crew, deep infrastructure for film and very reliable
and attractive tax incentives create the perfect storm in a good way for filmmakers.
Ellis adds that his company in the past year has worked on such Hollywood productions as
UniversalsEmerald City, Foxs Tyrantand NBC/Universal The Last Carnival.
INCENTIVES
Hungary is an experienced player in Europes movie incentives game. One of the first
former Eastern Bloc countries (in ) to introduce generous tax incentives, it has
progressively increased the amount available to up to percent or eligible productions.
Officially recognized by the European Audiovisual Observatory for the boost its incentives
give to film production between and , movie spending in Hungary accounted
for on average . percent of GDP, double that of the U.K. and France national film
fund managers are expecting million in incoming production spending this year alone.
A new statutory commitment by the government to maintain a billion forints (about
million) deposit account to ensure money is available to be paid out for approved
tax rebates is the latest tool to keep Hungarian studios, crews and locations busy with
international productions. There is confidence and trust toward the Hungarian film
industry and its representatives from filmmakers and producers worldwide, says Agnes
Havas, CEO of the Hungarian Film Fund.

Klaus Haros Cold War period piece The Fencer Estonias
second minority co-production to be submitted for Oscar consider-
ation (the first was last years Tangerinesby Georgian director
Zaza Urushadze, whichlanded a foreign-language nom) is
based on a true story by Finnish writer Anna Heinamaa, penned
while she studied screenwriting at Salford University in England. Itsset in Soviet-occupied Estonia in the early s, when a champion
fencer with a dark, wartime secret goes on the run from Stalins
secret police and finds refuge in a remote school. The film, Haro
says, was his most challenging yet, involving children and two lan-
guages [Russian and Estonian] I have not mastered. While
incentives which only were introduced this year were not a
factor in attracting the film to the northern Baltic state, a policy of
seeking to support co-productions to boost the small number of
features produced in the tiny country should ensure Estonia con-
tinues to punch above its weight. Rebates worth , euros
(,) this year, and rising to more than million next year,
should make it more attractive to foreign shoots. We have been
concentrating on minority co-production and quite successfully,
says Edith Sepp, CEO of the Estonian Film Institute. Estonia has
all the prerequisites to succeed in the film business: years of
filmmaking experience and international visibility.
The Fencer
The Martian
INCENTIVES
Called Film Estonia, the countrys new system of cash rebates
introduced in with the first of four annual submission deadlines
in early February is designed to encourage better cooperation
between local and foreign film producers to shoot in Estonia. By
providing rebates worth up to percent of in-country production
costs, the incentives, though small, are among Europes most gener-
ous and cover features, telefilms, documentaries and animation.

CASE STUDY: WAR AND PEACE
The BBCs six-part adaptation of War and Peace,
which premiered in January, used Lithuania as its
main base as well as Russia and Latvia. A co-pro-
duction among BBC Cymru Wales, The Weinstein
Co. and BBC Worldwide/Lookout Point, it is the first
British TV adaptation of the Leo Tolstoyepic sincethe BBCs -part series starring Anthony Hopkins
screened in -. The new production, unlike
the previous one that was filmed in Yugoslavia, was
able to take advantage of genuine locations that
then were part of the Soviet Union and off-limits to
Western filmmakers. Producer Julia Stanndard
said during production that filming had gone
extremely well in Vilnius. Everyone was really
helpful and supportive, and we were made to feel so
welcome in this beautiful city. Added local producer
Lineta Miseikyteof Baltic Film Service, The scale
and length of the production was challenging, but
we were able to provide the necessary resources
locally and met the demands of the show. And
director Tom Harper, speaking when the series
screened in Vilnius for the Lithuanian cast and crew,
said There were a number of reasons [we filmed
here]. It was the tax credit, it was the [locations]. It
was the combined effect of it all.Jurate Pazikaite,
head of the Vilnius Film Office, says the project was
the biggest shot in the capital city last year.
INCENTIVES
Under a plan introduced in January , productions
that spend up to one-fifth of their budget in Lithuania
can quality for a percent tax rebate via a local pro-
duction partner, which may use the rebate to reduce
local corporate income tax liability. The incentive is
available to feature films, telefilms, documentaries
and animated movies. Domestic films, co-produced
or commissioned films can take advantage of the
incentive, which is managed by the Lithuanian Film
Center. Ruokyte-Jonsson says that in the current
European environment, standing out from the crowd
is what matters. Its a very tough competition to
attract foreign productions when it comes to tax
incentives, she says. Twenty percent today maybe
is not a sky-high benefit, but combining this with a
super effective, highly professional multilingual local
crew makes the whole package attractive and valu-
able. Everything is possible in Lithuania. Last year,
in addition to the two-day co-production networking
event on the schooner, Ruokyte-Jonsson promoted
Lithuanian film by setting up a -seat theater in the
departure lounge of Vilnius International Airport.
expectations, the Polish talent and the
financial support from the Polish Film
Institute were the main factors that
attractedAgnus Deito Poland, says
Anna Dziedzicof Film Commission
Poland. Other recent international
shoots included True Crimes, which
stars Jim Carrey, and the French black
comedy Les Affaires Reprennes, a
debut feature by Gerard Pautonnier.
Both shot in the city of Krakow.
INCENTIVES
The countrys system of film supportdiffers from the rest of the region. The
Polish Film Institute uses a revolving
door system of grants, rather than
tax incentives. Chiefly designed to
support local productions in one of
the few Eastern European markets
with a big enough domestic exhibition
market to offer commercial potential
to local producers, it also is available
for co-productions. The PISF subsi-
dizes up to features a year as well
as documentary and animated
projects. Changes being introduced
this year under new institute head
Magdalena Srokawill ring-fence fund-ing for minority co-productions.
There will be a separate commission
only for minority co-productions, so
they wont compete with national
films, PFI exec Robert Balinski says.
We plan to double the number of
minority co-productions this year
from three or four to approximately
eight and spend about million euros
($. million) for them.

SPECIAL FEATURE
THE SOUTH KOREAN FIL M
industry had another banneryear in 2015, with the local boxoffice reaching record heights and
international sales. Revenue hit $1.42 billion(1.72 trillion won) last year, up 3.1 percentfrom 2014 and setting a record for the sixthconsecutive year, according to the KoreanFilm Council. The number of exported
domestic films, meanwhile, shot up to650 titles the most ever.
Last years three biggest movies localtitles Veteran($88.7 million) andAssassination($83.1 million), followed byAvengers: Age ofUltron($74.7 million) now rank among thetop 15 films of all time at the Korean box office.
But industry figures say the large numbersbelie a more complicated picture of internalstrife. Much like in Hollywood, the headline-making box-office records have come at thecost of intense polarization within the Koreantheatrical market, with huge-budget block-busters dominating screen counts and leaving
increasingly low-budget indies to pick up thescraps. The result: mid-budget dramas and
genre pictures have virtually vacated the field.On a given weekend, the top three box-
office hits take up about three-quarters of thescreens across Korea. This doesnt give audi-ences much of a choice, says film critic JeongJi-ouk. The situation is compounded by thefact that top investor-distributors such as CJEntertainment and Lotte Entertainment alsoown the countrys largest exhibitors. [Veteran
andAssassination] were very well-made filmsin and of themselves, but we also need to takethis unfair market structure into consider-ation, Jeong adds.
Though more films are beingmade and released than ever before,fewer new titles are actually reach-ing viewers. In 2015, a record 1,208movies were released in SouthKorea, of which 538, or 41 percent,were shown on just one screen (Age of Ultron,by comparison, opened on 1,843 Koreanscreens). And half of these single-screenreleases played in the cinema just once before
hitting VOD channels. The number of suchsingle-screen films has been on the rise in
recent years: 91 titles in 2011, 172 in 2012, 246in 2012 and 359 last year.
So, even though a record number of filmswere released in 2015, only 47 titles or1.37 percent managed to secure 500 ormore screens, and those accounted for 81 per-cent of the annual admissions.
Five to 10 films open every week, which istoo many considering the size of the domestic
market. If films dont have a big debut, theyget pulled immediately, and then cinemas willallot more screens to the bigger blockbust-ers, says a staff member at a major multiplex
who asked not to be named.As polarization within the
industry deepens between bothbig-budget and indie filmmak-ing as well as younger and olderaudiences insiders say Koreas
oligarchic entertainment conglomeratesare only becoming more conservative aboutthe projects they greenlight.
And much like in Hollywood, its the stars
who are stepping up and throwing their weightbehind inspiring, indie-spirited projects.

The film chronicles the chaos

Aer Lee Jung-hyunappeared inRoaringCurrents, the 2014 maritime epic that isKoreas highest-grossing film of all time, thesinger/actress was expected to follow that upwith another high-profile, mainstream pro-duction. Instead, Lee surprised the industryby choosing to star in Gooc-jin Ahns dark indiecomedyAlice in Earnestland.
My agency wanted me to choose a biggerproject, but female characters [in main-stream movies] are extremely limited. I feltvery frustrated while choosing pieces aerRoaring Currents, butAlicecaught my eye forits novel subject matter, and more impor-
tantly, because Iwanted a meaning-ful, female-drivenstory, says the36-year-oldactress. Lee wenton to be namedbest actress at the2015 Blue Dragon
Film Awards, oneof the Koreasmost prestigiousfilm events.
Similarly, actorKang Ha-neulalsoforewent finan-cial gain to starinDongju: ThePortrait of a Poet,a biopic about afamous Korean
poet and independence fighter. Lee Joon-ik,the star director of such pricey blockbustersas Koreas 2016 Oscar submission The Throne,turned to a more independent style of film-making forDongju.
I did not want to commercially exploitthe life story of Yun Dongju, says the director.In order to retain full visual control of thefeature, Lee used product placement andother advertising incentives while operatingon a micro budget of about $413,000.
Cho Jae-hyun(Kim Ki-duksMoebius), one ofSouth Koreas most well-established actors,also insists on appearing in indie films eventhough he has become a household namethanks to his appearances in smash-hitTV soaps and big-budget action movies.A
Korean in Paris, a quirky indie that premieredlast fall at the Busan Film Festival, marksthe 50-year-olds second collaboration withVenice-winning auteur Jeon Soo-il, followingEl Condor Pasa(2013).
I take part in smaller projects because myparticipation helps budget issues, Cho says.Independent movies must be made, becausetheir unique vision and diverse subject mattercan inspire and provoke mainstream cinema.But sadly, indie filmmaking is dying out.
Nevertheless, the actor, who also debutedas an indie filmmaker in 2015 withA BreakAlone, says he would continue to direct and act
in art films. Chos frequent collaborator, arthouse auteur Kim Ki-duk, on the other hand,
announced that he would no longer show hisfilms in Korea outside of film festivals. He isnow working on his Chinese film debut, WhoIs God(working title), aer having releasingthe Japanese-language projectStoplast year.
I feel uneasy whenever small films hitscreens because it is so tough for them toreach audiences, says Cho. Its true thatnot all small films have mainstream appeal.Theyre sought out by audiences with aparticular taste. But it is a problem that such
viewers dont even get the chance to seekthem out.
Insiders point out, however, that sucha polarization is not limited to the indie-versus-mainstream discourse.
Commercial films are also suffering.There is an obsession with blockbusters thathit 10 million admissions, and mid-budgetcommercial films are being neglected, addsCho. Market analysts share this view, anda 2015 report compiled by the Korean FilmCouncil states that genre films have virtuallydisappeared.

Much like Robert SimondsSTXEntertainment stateside, Lee believes mid-budget features offer both creative value anda market opportunity. Not everyone canmake big movies on a big budget, he says.Its more important to have a diverse rangeof mid-budget films that will present lowerrisks and help build a stronger market.

Studios Find a Place for Interesting Female Personas
THOUGH LOCAL
films have
been booming
at the South
Korean box office, there have
been relatively few parts for
actresses amid the domi-
nance of testosterone-fueled
actioners. Lee Jung-hyun,
for example, turned to indie
cinema because she could
not find interesting women
to play after appearing in a
minor role in the box-office
smash Roaring Currents.
This year, however, major
studios are spinning out
female-driven titles featuring
top talent in a range of roles,
from tragic historical figures to
egotistical divas.
Its been rather tough for
Korean actresses as their roles
have been largely limited to
supporting characters, like the
lover or mother. But things are
changing little by little, said
film critic Youn Sung-eun.
The positive reception for
Hollywood films centered on
women does influence local
filmmakers, and the success
of indie films such asAlice in
Earnestlandalso seems to be
having an effect. Korean audi-
ences always want something
new, and this includes stories
featuring interesting female
personas.
Kim Min-hee (Hong
Sang-soosRight Now, Wrong
Then) will star opposite
budding star Kim Tae-riinThe
Handmaiden, a new lesbian
thriller by celebrated director
Park Chan-wookinspired by
the British novel Fingersmith.
Set in the Japanese colonial
period (-), the film
follows the plight of an orphan
girl who is hired by a con man
to win the trust of a wealthy
heiress, only to end up falling
for her. It is on offer at the EFM
via CJ Entertainment.
Cannes winner Jeon
Do-yeon(SecretSunshine) was
one of the few actresses who
had a memorable presence in
Korean cinema through
The Shamelessand the martial
arts epic Memories of the
Sword. She will return withA
Man and a Woman, about a
mother who heads to Finland
to send her autistic son to a
special camp and becomes
passionately drawn to a fellow
parent. This is Jeons second
time working on a melodrama
directed byLee Yoon-gi,fol-
lowing s One Fine Day.
Kim Hye-soo, Koreasbiggest sex symbol, stood
out last year in Coin Locker
Girl, a female buddy film that
debuted at Cannes. In the
second quarter of , art will
imitate life as the -year-old
takes on the role of a superstar
in Familyhood. In this drama
directed by Kim Tae-gon, the
actress flirts with the idea of
becoming a single mother
as she realizes that her star
wattage is fading.
A-listerSon Ye-jin(The
Pirates) will take the lead in
The Last Princess, a big-
budget historical drama from
directorHur Jin-ho. The
film follows the true story of
Princess Deokhye, one of
the last royals of the Joseon
Kingdom (-); she was
famous for having been forced
into a marriage with a Japanese
aristocrat and then confined to
a mental institution.
Popular actress Han
Hyo-joohas stood out in two
unconventional female-driven
titles, the crime actioner Cold
Eyesand the rom-com The
Beauty Inside. This year, she
will trade in her sweet, inno-
cent image to play a seductivecourtesan-artist of the Joseon
Kingdom in Haeohwa. Park
Heung-sik, who directed
Memories of the Sword, will
helm the period drama.
Superstar Ha Ji-won,
known for playing everything
from rom-com sweethearts
to action heroines, will
star in Life Risking Romance.
Directed by Song Min-kyu,
the genre-bending title mixes
romance with thriller elements
as a couple becomes entangled

credited with pulling the Korean film indus-try out of a recession that set in aer studiosinvested heavily in big-budget, star-studdedfilms that did not live up to expectations.
But can that happen again? Director-producer JK Younhas vowed to make a morediverse range of mid-budget films via his
company JK Films. Though he is best knownfor such mega-hits asHaeundaeand Ode toMy Father, each of which crossed 10 millionadmissions, his extensive filmography also
includes smaller comedies and crime dramas.Says Youn: The Korean film market is
severely polarized, and I hope I can help thesituation by presenting more colorful filmson a reasonable budget. If we succeed, thenI am sure this will inspire more filmmakers todo the same.

Q&A DIRECTOR
Where you surprised thatGoing
Clearwasnt nominated for an Oscar
after the Church of Scientology
actively campaigned against it?
I dont want to comment on therecord about that. There defi-nitely was a campaign against[the film], but I have no evidencethat was responsible for influenc-ing Academy voters. They didntvote for it and thats that Ivebeen inundated with litigiousletters [from the Church ofScientology] threatening law-suits as has every venue where weexhibited this film, in this countryand abroad. They havent sued,but they threatened a lot. Theresbeen a high cost to releasingthe film. I get accosted fromtime to time you can see a fewexchanges on YouTube but thepeople who really
took it on the chinare the people whospoke to me for themovie. Theyve beenshadowed by privateinvestigators andin ways that areintended to intimi-date woman havebeen threatened,people have hadtheir lives destroyedeconomically,their houses taken
away. Its been thug-gish intimidation.
The church has lived up to itsreputation.
Has there been any professional
repercussions for you, working in
Hollywood?
Not really. I cant say theres beenany impact there. But in termsof the Hollywood element, Ifound it somewhat disturbingthat Tom Cruisecontinues tomanage to elude any responsibil-ity for the ongoing human-rightsabuses that are basically con-ducted in his name. He is themost visible and most vocal pro-ponent of the religion. This isntabout the creed of the church, itsabout the deed. By not investi-gating human-rights abuses inthe church, hes tacitly giving hisapproval to them.
Youve explored aneven more clandestine
world in Zero Days
the world of
cyber-espionage and
malware hacking.
What surprised
you most in your
investigation into the
Stuxnet attack?
That this is a muchbigger story thanmost people haverealized. It was the
first known attackin which malware
crossed from the world of cyberto the world of physical theStuxnet worm took control ofmachines in an Iranian nuclearplant and made them spinwidely out of control. And it wasantonymous. Nobody presseda button, it attacked on its ownwhen it felt the time was right,a little like the doomsday deviceinDr. Strangelove. The Stuxnetstory showed the ability of acomputer program to manipulateor destroy critical infrastruc-ture: water treatment plants,electricity grids, transportationsystems, everything essential to
normal life. It shows the potentialfor cyber-war is both terrifyingand comical, and I think it issomething people have not paidsufficient attention to at all.
Did you discover anything in your
research that shocked you?
Yes. The level of secrecy shockedme. Because this is a big deal we are talking about a potentialglobal cyber-war and our lead-ers arent even talking about this.The launch of cyber-weapons, in
the same way as nuclear weapons,need a presidential signoff. But
theres been no official recogni-tion (of the Stuxnet attack). Itsas if aer 1945 the U.S. govern-ment were to have said, Whatbomb? This isnt just a com-puter story, its a story of globalespionage and war. Its very muchin the news now, that espionageplayed a role in the recent,controversial nuclear agreementwith Iran. We are living with theconsequences.
How great a threat does the film
represent for you and your team?
Angry hackers can wreak even
more havoc that Scientologists.
I took as many precautions as Icould. I have no idea how effec-tive they were. This is very scaryterrain. The possibility of anattack is ever-present. We live ina world of extraordinary vul-nerability. The Sony hack madepeople aware of the possibility ofsomething like this, but Stuxnetgoes way beyond that. We haveto demand more from ourgovernment in terms of transpar-ency and protection. This filmattempts to raise the questions of
what the government is keepingsecret and why.
We live in aworld of
extraordinaryvulnerability,
Gibney says.

EXECUTIVE SUITE
Were a younger company,were growing and emergingand were continually doingbigger projects, says Moring,who was photographed Jan.
at his office in Toronto.
WHEN JASON MORING, PRESIDENT
and CEO of Double DutchInternational, takes stock of theglobal sales market for indepen-
dent film, he doesnt see crisis he seesopportunity. Thats even aer Canadianrival Entertainment One in Januaryinvested in Sierra Pictures and closed eOne
International, its London-based internationalsales and distribution arm. Judging cast-driven theatrical releases as safe ground, DDIis pushing into production via a deal withAwesometown Entertainment (Get Squirrely)to co-produce two or three animated featuresbudgeted in the $10 million to $15 millionrange each year. Moring also has made mov-ies that he reps for worldwide sales rights apotentially safer bet for foreign buyers by lin-ing up a $50 million P&A fund from privatewealth management firm Fleet-Fairhavento ensure a wide U.S. release. Plus, he hasexecutive produced such movies as TerenceDaviesA Quiet Passion, which stars CynthiaNixon and Jennifer Ehle and will receive agala screening in Berlin, andA.R.C.H.I.E., afamily film voiced by Michael J. Fox. Moring,36, sat down with THRin his Toronto officeto discuss the state of the world film salesmarket, his push into production and hisdesire to cherry-pick some new executives.
There arent many Canadian sales companies,
and with Entertainment One closing its
international sales division, the sector has
shrunk. And yet youre growing?The Sierra acquisition was to help [eOne]get involved with bigger content. For us,
that only benefits DDI. Were definitelytrying to take advantage of eOne shutter-ing its international division to see whethertheres an opportunity to pick up some oftheir people as well.
How are film sales?
For us, theyre great. We have had a good runsince fall 2014, where each market is seem-ingly better than the last one. Were a youngercompany, were growing and emerging andwere continually doing bigger projects. Iknow there are people out there saying partsof the market are in a downturn. But I really
think you either have theatrical films or youhave the other pool of films. If youre not
theatrical, youre in a big, competitive pool,where theres a lot of content out there, andthat only drives prices down because buyershave options. For us, we made a decision twoyears ago to focus more on theatricals, so wewerent cluttered up in that competition.
Besides selling, you have expanded DDIs portfolio
to include the development and financing of new
features. Why the push into production?
The world looks to the U.S. to see what theU.S. will do with a film, and that will reallydictate how [foreign buyers] feel about themarketability and commerciality of a film.If it gets a wide theatrical release in the U.S.,the world will respond. If the U.S. just does aday-and-date release, the world will responddifferently. So, to help keep that control inter-nally, were trying to venture more intoa production role and a co-producer role.We need to figure out ways to bring certainpieces to the puzzle early, whether thatbe financing or production talent, to giveus an advantage. And with Canada being solucrative when it comes to bringing produc-tion here, I see a role for us.
Does that mean getting more involved at thescript or packaging stages for indie titles that
end up on your international sales slate?
Independent producers trying to make adecent film budgeted in the $8 million to$15 million range sometimes make wrongdecisions based on cast, and that eventuallymakes their film less attractive internation-ally. If we can get involved earlier, we can helpguide producers in making casting decisionsthat will financially benefit their film.
Big names are expensive, especially now with
the collapsing Canadian dollar and the fact that
top Hollywood talent is paid in U.S. dollars.
The agents are certainly out for the benefit
of their clients. Theres always seemingly atop-20 or a top-30. Its a supply and demandfunction. Here, with the way the Canadiandollar is going, luckily our business is majorityU.S. funds. That will benefit the industry as awhole. Youll see over the next 12 to 24 monthsa huge influx of U.S. and international pro-ductions coming to Canada. They not onlywill get the same quality of work, theyll get itat a significant discount when factoring in (thelow Canadian dollar and) film incentives. Itslike doubling up.
You have lined up a $ million P&A fund to help
ensure a wider U.S. release for films to give comfort
to foreign buyers. What was the strategy there?
We started talking in early 2015 to Fleet-Fairhaven, and were evolving to a revolvingfund to support P&A. That ties into help-ing make sure the U.S. was fitting a certainrelease model that foreign buyers coulddepend on and be confident in. And the P&Afund allows us to ensure at least 800 screensand up to 2,000.
The falling Canadian dollar also has you eyeing
making more movies with U.S. partners, right?
During the past six to eight months,there has been a handful of requests everyweek from producers asking if we can helpthem co-produce out of Canada. So we havea roster of producers weve worked withbefore that we are trying to bring into proj-ects. And were looking at setting up ourproduction shell here domestically so we canhelp with that. In todays market, you haveto be flexible. If you are just a sales company,thats one thing. But were trying to be alittle more, to bring financing, to help withproduction, to have the P&A financing.These are items that only a handful of sales
companies are doing, and they are usually thebigger guys.
