SPONSORSHIPS
Sponsorships and product placement can be a valuable source of additional finance or profit for a film. Brands and businesses recognize the value of having their product used on screen, or their names associated with a successful film release. Our expertise is to approach brands and their creative agencies with product placement and sponsorship opportunities. Starting with the multiple brands and businesses with which we are associated, we procure such deals and opportunities for the benefit of all parties.
PRODUCT PLACEMENT
Product placement is a mainstay in film making. At Time International Films, we not only work with the Production to utilize product placement opportunities on set, but we go so far as to work with Production teams and writers during the script development phase to coordinate and integrate product placement. Producers are often surprised to learn how much additional financing can be raised for their films with a well executed product placement opportunity and we are experts at delivering the best result.
