Who
Buys What – The Mega Panel
Our annual speed-dating-meets-daytime-gameshow-with-a-small-touch-of-stock-trader-zeal
showcase hits the floor running with a panel of Canadian
and international buyers ready to tell you exactly what
they’re looking for when acquiring shorts. This is
where we get to the nitty-gritty of who is buying what,
for how much, and what kind of rights they want to secure.
All the buyers attending the Festival will be in attendance.
