On February 18, 2010, they will demonstrate the possibilities of the new software using an international co-production. What is unique about “LineProducer” is its innovative operating concept, which allows budgets to be filtered and evaluated very conveniently. LineProducer supports users in planning multiple “sources of financing”, such as film funding in combination with broadcasters, co-producers and investors - from different countries in each case if necessary.
“LineProducer - The Art of Budgeting” is an event of the Berlinale Talent Campus in cooperation with the Potsdam-Babelsberg University of Film and Television and the Erich Pommer Institute.
