Lights. Camera. America! Panel – Monarch Private Capital & Film USA Panel During Sundance 2025
We are pleased to present the full recording of our “Lights. Camera. America!” panel discussion, an event that took place during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. This timely conversation addresses the critical role of film incentives in supporting domestic production, preserving American jobs, and ensuring the United States’ continued leadership in the global film industry.
Moderated by Marco Cordova, the panel features insights from leading industry experts: Allison Whitmer (Montana Film Commissioner), Dave DeVore (Netflix), Steven Demmler (Talon Entertainment Finance), Chiquita Banks (Bankable Consulting, Inc.), and Fred Siegel (Fred Siegel CPA). The discussion highlights the importance of federal, state, and local incentives, and explores the potential impact of establishing a Federal Film Office.
