TIFF Content Market starts to take shape, as it unveils an advisory committee comprising CAA's Roeg Sutherland
Anita Lee, the fest’s chief programming officer, has announced that CAA co-head of media finance Roeg Sutherland, Goodfellas CEO Vincent Maraval, and Tom Yoda, president of Japan’s Gaga Corporation, are among members of the first round of advisors of the TIFF Content Market’s newly-created global advisory committee. The first group of TIFF market advisors also comprises Niv Fichman, founder of Toronto-based Rhombus Media; former Cannes market chief Jérôme Paillard; Noah Segal, co-president and co-founder of Canada’s Elevation Pictures; Monique Simard, former president of Quebec SODEC (Société de développement des entreprises culturelles); and Kerry Swanson, CEO of Canada’s Indigenous Screen Office. Also, for companies from emerging regions – whether it’s Asia or Latin America, and so on – TIFF having an official market “will mean that they can also receive greater support from their national agencies to attend and bring larger delegations,” Lee said.
