The rules of content financing are evolving. As the industry changes, producers are increasingly looking beyond conventional ways to finance and produce their next projects. From private equity and investment funds to brand partnerships and emerging financing models, new sources of capital are transforming how content gets made. In this forward-looking session, join leaders from across the investment, finance, brand, and entertainment sectors as they discuss the innovative partnerships and funding strategies reshaping the industry. Learn where new opportunities are emerging, how producers can diversify their financing approach, and what it takes to successfully navigate these new opportunities.

Join us for a forward‑looking conversation about the future of queer storytelling at a time when visibility on screen is facing renewed cultural pressures. As public discourse shifts and space for queer narratives becomes more contested, the work of developing, financing, and sustaining these stories requires new strategies and a deeper sense of responsibility across the industry. This session brings together established leaders from production, advocacy, and industry strategy to explore how queer stories are shaped, supported, and protected. Together, they examine the structural forces influencing which narratives reach audiences, and the creative and strategic choices needed to ensure queer voices remain present, visible, and thriving on screen.
