Welcome back to the Business of Film podcast, episode #84. Patrick Corcoran is the Vice President and Chief Communications Officer of the National Association of Theatre Owners.

This has been an amazing year for film. The industry is approaching, for the first time ever, $12 Billion of box office. The simple fact that we can even talk about this as a possible reality is truly remarkable. Especially considering all of the change in the industry.
In this wide ranging conversation with Patrick, we cover everything from theatrical release windows, to what theatre owners really want, and the ever changing landscape of cinema.
Hope you enjoy this one!

Welcome back to the Business of Film podcast, episode #83. Matthew Helderman is the founder and CEO of both Buffalo 8 and BondIt Media Capital. With a background rooted in media production, finance and digital technology he leads the team of both businesses on a daily basis.

I’ve wanted to have Matthew on the pod for some time. BondIt sees an incredible amount of deal flow every week. And that makes him the kind of guest we love here on the business of film. Why? Because he can cut through the noise and tell us exactly what’s happening in the market. 
We talk about the current state of the industry. How producers are currently financing their films? What’s working and what’s not.
