FilmNation CEO and Executive Producer Glen Basner joins us to discuss his unique perspective in foreign sales and how it helped to created Oscar-winning hits such as Conclave, Anora, and more. Basner shares how FilmNation balances creative vision with market realities to ensure success, putting trust in great filmmakers and communicating with international partners. While there is no single approach, he pulls the curtain back on the foreign sales world, using Conclave and Anora as an example. A trailblazer in independent film, Basner encourages focusing on creativity rather than market limitations, believing in trusting his instincts to make lasting, impactful films.
