It was during her time at Fulcrum Media Finance that Sara McFarlane started to think about how to bridge the gap between creative and legal for producers.
McFarlane (nee Gajic) has since relocated to The States, where after a stint working for CinePointe Advisors on projects like Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, On The Rocks and I’m Thinking of Ending Things, she has established her own business, E/S Collab.
An executive producing and business affairs company, it aims to assist from development through to delivery, on issues such as underlying rights and chain of title, finance plans, closing financing deals, production business affairs work, closing talent agreements, and distribution and sales deals.
This includes leveraging relationships with law firms, insurance brokers, production accountants, clearance companies and publicity firms that can be brought on board, based on a production’s needs.
