SUMMARY:The Business of SC Independent Production
DESCRIPTION:Veterans from the international production industry will gather on Saturday\, June 13th\, at 2pm for a lively\, informative panel discussion on the evolving global film and TV market\, focusing on a holistic approach to helping more independent South Carolina projects get off the ground and become financially viable. \nIt will take place at Simons Recital Hall in The Simons Center @ The College of Charleston (54 St. Philip Street\, Charleston\, SC). \nThe conversation will be framed with South Carolina production projects and production companies as small businesses\, the filmed story as the product\, audiences as customers\, and digital storefronts as additional strategies for revenue and distribution. \nThe program is part of on-going efforts by the South Carolina Film Commission and Trident Technical College to provide support for the manufacturing and distribution of South Carolina film and television projects. It will also be a networking opportunity for South Carolina production entrepreneurs and professionals.  \nThe panel is free but a simple registration is required. Please register here: \nRepresenting key areas for successful independent production\, the panelists are: \nJosh Foster (Producer)\nJoshua Foster\, native of Spartanburg\, SC\, is a writer/director/producer who works as an executive for Cinetic Media in the company’s film finance and production department. He is the executive producer and/or producer\, co-producer on the feature films Blue Moon from Richard Linklater\, Old Dads from Bill Burr\, Little Rootie Tootie from Dan Algrant\, and Nothing But Net from Billy Raftery. \nKale Murphy (Producer)\nKale Murphy is a seasoned Carolina based producer with over a decade of production experience. Previous works include premium television including HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones and studio features like David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy. Kale founded 19 Pictures in 2023 to support independent filmmakers and cultivate creative talent at home in the Carolinas. His company has three films releasing in late 2026/early 2027 including Suburban Psycho (Malin Ackerman\, Ron Perlman)\, The Long Drive to Yadkin (Gray Hawks\, Alayna Hester) and the Appalachia based documentary My Posterity Will Finish it. \nEmily Reach White (Producer)\nAward-winning independent producer Emily Reach White’s commercial breakthrough came with 2021’s coming-of-age music-comedy Electric Jesus (Judd Nelson\, Brian Baumgartner). Driven by her grit and determination\, Electric Jesus screened at more than 40 film festivals\, won distribution with The Orchard/1099\, and signed a record deal with Joyful Noise Recordings – all during the peak of a global pandemic. It is with this same commitment to radical hospitality\, fiscal responsibility\, and deep\, abiding belief in the transformative power of story\, that White’s Studio Fifteen brings out three directorial debut features in 2026: the female led\, MENA-driven romcom Same Same But Different (dir. Lauren Noll\, premiere SXSW)\, hillbilly heist comedy Money By Sundown (dir. Geoffrey Gunn)\, and retro sci-fi adventure Adventures In Zeroworld: Shadow of Doom (dir. Alan Ray). Next for Emily: screwball music-comedy So Long Farewell\, written and directed by her husband Chris White\, and the screen adaptation of Tara Isabella Burton’s big city cabaret theatre thriller Here In Avalon. \nMichael Quiqley (Capital/Financing)\nMichael Quigley is the Co-Founder/CEO of QVH Media\, a film production and distribution company in Atlanta. For more than 15 years he worked for Turner Broadcasting\, Warner Media\, and Warner Bros. Discovery\, most recently as Executive VP of Content Acquisition and Strategy. Under his leadership\, HBO Max’s 2022 film offering included more Oscar nominees than any other streaming service\, including Belfast\, Drive My Car\, Dune\, The Eyes of Tammy Faye\, Nightmare Alley\, and West Side Story\, as well as The French Dispatch\, Judas and the Black Messiah\, In the Heights\, Last Night in Soho and Shiva Baby. Quigley’s purview also included programming the TBS\, TNT and TruTV networks\, for which he launched audience-building initiatives including TNT Big Ticket Movies\, TBS Friday Night Vibes\, May the 4th Be With You\, and beloved holiday movie marathons. \nRanfi Rivera (Legal)\nRanfi is a long-time entertainment attorney and trusted advisor who has worked with both independent producers and major studios. As a former Senior Vice President\, Business & Legal Affairs at Paramount Global\, he supported development\, production and live events for both traditional and new media platforms\, including NFL Slimetime and the Kids’ Choice Awards franchises. He currently serves as the Head of Legal & Business Affairs for 14TH & I\, a private equity firm focused on strategic acquisitions in sports\, media and entertainment which included the recent acquisition of After 12 Studios.
