Funding
MEDIA Desk UK would like to bring your attention to the following issues:
MEDIA has just launched its first E-form. Distributors applying for the 7 April deadline of the Selective Scheme have an option to complete the form online.
*
30 April is an earlier than usual deadline for Sales Agents support. It is a once-a-year opportunity so don't miss out!
*
Also on 30 April is the deadline for the generation stage of the Automatic Scheme for distributors. Don't miss it, especially if you had a European box office hit in 2009.
*
And finally VoD operators - your scheme closes earlier this year on 21 June, whereas Pilot Projects will close on 14 June.
