What Delegates are Saying
There has never been a better time in this business to come together to collaborate in the SP way. It’s intimate and relaxed to pur- sue genuine collaboration. SP was pivotal in the creation of Alchemy. It was the stage for Alchemy’s debut. It’s a way station for new ideas from new producers. An excellent place to consolidate relationships with broadcasters, and discuss ongoing business with existing partners.
Simon Vaughn, Alchemy Television , UK
Strategic Partners is such a civilized event, unfolding on a very human scale, that it’s hard to believe how tightly organized, focused and productive a global event it really is. SP fulfills its mandate with style, grace and a profound understanding of what makes our industry, and co-productions in particular, really work.
Tom Cox, Seven24, Canada
Strategic Partners brings great people together from around the world. It is a wonderfully relaxed environment that makes working easy and fun. It is
worth the trip to Halifax.
Noreen Halpern, Blueprint Entertainment, USA
Partnerships are an integral part of developing & producing content for today’s marketplace. SP’s intimacy affords a value-packed experience and productive environment for all attendees to forge new relationships, keep in touch with existing partners and shape a greater understanding of evolving sensibilities & realities in markets all over the world. Looking forward to next year!
Scott McEwen, CBC, Canada
…congratulations to SP and the wonderful hub for producers in such a relaxed environment. Sincerely it was one of the best co-production meetings I’ve been to. I think part of this success is the number of high standard companies attending the event and excellent service from your crew. Count on us if you need any- thing from Brazil or South America.
Helder DaCosta, Tropicalstorm Entertainment, Brazil/The Netherlands
Strategic Partners is the perfect forum for Scottish Screen and Scottish Production companies to meet potential international partners who are passionate about film and getting films made. The one to one meetings, intimate setting and international outlook enabled Scottish production companies to do business efficiently and effectively.
Leslie Finlay, Scottish Screen, Scotland
I attended SP in 2005 which was extremely helpful in getting one of my productions off the ground. The friendly atmosphere over several days with great one-on-one meetings helped build professional relationships that are still ongoing and will be helpful in the future as well. I will love to come back!
Marco Mehlitz, Lago Film, Germany
SP is a very quick way to accomplish what would otherwise take months of research to do. It means what it says and says what it means – it strategically plans meetings and a lot of effort goes into creating these matches.
Michael Garland, Grand Pictures, Ireland
Many events give you time to talk - in Halifax there is time to LISTEN.
Keith Halsall, Tightrope Pictures, UK
Strategic Partners is where you can expect the unexpected. Halifax in September has
become a destination location for many. There is plenty of opportunity for the chance meeting that will change your life.
Sandra Cunningham, Strada Films, Canada
