11:15AM - 12:15PM - David vs. Goliath: Negotiating Deals Against a Studio in Today's Climate
Shelly Sroloff and Paul Neinstein, leading business affairs agent and studio exec, face off in a mock negotiation addressing the issues that arise today in trying to represent high end “talent” in a climate where first dollar gross seems to have disappeared and the studio is holding all of the cards. How do these “break-even” pools work, and in success, can the talent really make more money than if they had received first dollar gross?
