Fact Vs Fiction
Media Insurance Brokers presents an incredibly topical session
Lately, the headlines are sizzling with stories of real-life individuals depicted in fact-based dramas, who are now striking back with lawsuits, claiming misrepresentation and demanding hefty payouts.
Is this a fresh trend shaking up the industry, or just a new twist on an old story?
This session invites our distinguished speakers—and you—to share anecdotes and strategies for navigating these thorny issues. Dive into a lively discussion and gain practical insights.

The PMA is sponsored by a variety of companies in the film and television industry. We have a long-standing relationship with many of them dating back to the PMA’s inception in 1991.
PMA members benefit from the information and services that our sponsors can provide, while sponsors gain access to the upper echelon of Production Managers in the UK who are major purchasers for the industry.
