Do You Have Content To Offer Internationally?
The US Commercial Service Office and their counterparts in the U.S. Embassy in Brazil, are supporting U.S. firms participation in the Rio Content Market (RCM) next March. They would like to get the word out to the Oregon creative community who has content they may be interested in offering internationally. The exhibition is the largest event of its kind in Latin America (3500 attendees last year).
- Who: Producers of content for television: companies which produce TV series, individual shows, animations, documentaries, independent productions, feature length movies for TV, reality shows, stage or movie adaptations, complementary TV digital media, scripts
What: Meet with Brazilian & international broadcast & cable network executives to pitch your programs to their networks in 1-on-1 meetings & learn about the market in keynotes, lectures, & round-tables;.
