Entertainment news and analysis site The Wrap has published “Independent TV Financing in the Digital Age: Who’s In?” by Akin Gump entertainment and media counsel Alissa Miller.

The article describes the growth of digital distribution platforms such as Netflix and Hulu, the accompanying demand for original high-quality content and the increased need for independent financing for new productions, then asks the question “But what true appetite do potential financiers have for financing independent television productions, and where is the money coming from?”

Miller answers her own question by stating “As with many markets, the option is either debt or equity financing” and explores the challenges to both debt and equity financers in funding television productions.
