The purpose of this report is to provide a distribution research tool for independent film professionals. This double-issue Cannes => Toronto Report provides detailed sales activity on 2,258 film acquisitions that transpired in Q2 and Q3 of 2013. Most of the sales activity detailed within is months from being updated on IMDbPro, Cinando et al. While the information provided in this report represents the most comprehensive resource for tracking the latest film distribution activity available, it does not contain every sale within the period. As the capabilities and sources of FilmTake expand, so will the depth and breath of future reports. The full package consists of three parts: 1. 100-page Cannes => Toronto Report includes data and findings on 2,258 territorial acquisitions over the past six months, market analysis by geographical region and distribution news, including output deals, financing arrangements and notable acquisitions (this document). 2. 138-page Film Supplement provides details on 205 films, including Logline, Genre, Director, Cast, International Sales Agency, Buyer, Stage and Ter r itor y. 3. Cannes => Toronto Workbook is a MS Excel workbook containing the raw data on all 2,258 acquisitions sortable for personalized research and analysis. page 4 Background The 2013 Cannes Market Report was published in August 2013, containing sales activity on 673 film buys covering 117 films between 58 international sales agencies and 314 distributors. The response to the report outperformed expectations in both the number of reports sold and in the amount of information contributed by sales agents, distributors and producers. Contribute Contributors to FilmTake are helping transform the way information is disseminated in the film industry in remarkable ways. We are pleased to announce several new sources of sales information that started contributing during the Toronto International Film Festival. Professionals interested in contributing sales information can receive free access to reports and future online subscription services. To learn more please contact us via email us at [email protected]. Future Reports FilmTake will publish, or make available through FilmTake.com, four (4) quarterly reports. The first quarter report will be released in March and cover sales activity at EFM and Sundance. The second quarter report will be made available after Cannes. The third quarter will follow TIFF, and the fourth quarter will follow AFM and year-end pickups. As the economics of independent film become more transparent, data collection and analysis will enable producers, filmmakers and industry professionals greater access to capital through market intelligence rooted in current market conditions. page 5 DATA & FINDINGS Sales By Region Q2 & Q3 2013 375 500 0 125 250 W.

APRIL 2017 PRODUCED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF 1 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Acknowledgements This study was commissioned by the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), in partnership with the Association québécoise de la production médiatique (AQPM), the Cana- da Media Fund (CMF), and Telefilm Canada. The following report solely reflects the views of the authors. Findings, conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funders of this report, who are in no way bound by any recommendations con- tained herein. 2 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Executive Summary Goals of the Study The goals of this study were three-fold: 1. To identify key trends in international sales of feature films generally and Canadian independent feature films specifically; 2. To provide intelligence on challenges and opportunities to increase foreign sales; 3. To identify policies, programs and initiatives to support foreign sales in other jurisdic- tions and make recommendations to ensure that Canadian initiatives are competitive. For the purpose of this study, Canadian film exports were defined as sales of rights. These included pre-sales, sold in advance of the completion of films and often used to finance pro- duction, and sales of rights to completed feature films. In other jurisdictions foreign sales are being measured in a number of ways, including the number of box office admissions, box of- fice revenues, and sales of rights.

ZOOM is a fast-paced, pop-art inspired, multi-plot contemporary comedy. The film consists of three seemingly separate but ultimately interlinked storylines about a comic book artist, a novelist, and a film director. Each character lives in a separate world but authors a story about the life of another. The comic book artist, Emma, works by day at an artificial love doll factory, and is hoping to undergo a secret cosmetic procedure. Emma’s comic tells the story of Edward, a cocky film director with a debilitating secret about his anatomy. The director, Edward, creates a film that features Michelle, an aspiring novelist who escapes to Brazil and abandons her former life as a model. Michelle, pens a novel that tells the tale of Emma, who works at an artificial love doll factory… And so it goes..

Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow (Xu Jian) can attend an elite private school. Despite his father’s good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the “cool” toys stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb. Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky – the junk yard! While out “shopping” for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. Armed with his “CJ7” Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life.
