Tellycast Content Funding Festival lines up Goldfinch’s McKenzie & ITV’s Chandrani for London event

The TellyCast Content Funding Festival is preparing to open its doors tomorrow, with Phil McKenzie from Goldfinch and Bhav Chandrani from ITV among recently confirmed panelists for the London-based event.

From the organisers of popular TV podcast Tellycast, the event aims to shed light on new funding opportunities across areas including brand funded content, NFTs, next gen co-production and non-traditional media investment.

McKenzie and Chandrani will join the likes of Barcroft Studios founder Sam Barcroft, digital entrepreneur Umair Masoom, Richard Tulk-Hart of Buccaneer Media, Gerrit Kemming of Quintus Studios and Lilla Hurst of Drive as they explore new ways to get shows off the ground.

The day-long event, which takes place at Lincoln’s Inn in London, will revolve around four distinctly-themed panels and a series of networking opportunities. After a presentation from K7 Media, the morning panels will explore Brand Funded Programming and New Financial Models.

Attention will then turn to the fast-moving world of NFTs in a panel entitled NFT & Blockchain – Opportunities and Pitfalls, with the final panel exploring developments in co-pro and chaired by Amanda Groom of The Bridge.
