International producer Katharina Suckle shared practical strategies for navigating the international marketplace with intention, showing writers and filmmakers that success beyond their home country is not simply luck, but it’s the result of smart positioning, strategic partnerships, and a strong understanding of how the global industry operates. Drawing from her own production experience, Katharina broke down how projects actually travel across borders. She used her work on Radius-Trijya, which was picked up by MUBI and covered by Screen International, to demonstrate how the right festival exposure and distribution partner can elevate a project internationally. She also revealed how strategic announcements in trades like Variety can create industry momentum, citing her work setting up Once Upon a Crime in Borivali with Lotus Visual Productions. For viewers, the lesson was clear: visibility, timing, and industry relationships can dramatically influence a project’s global trajectory. Katharina also shared powerful lessons from her experience producing LOEV, which reached audiences in 180 countries through Netflix, and the international co-production The Road to Mandalay, which earned the Fedora Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Licorne d'Or in Amiens International Film Festival.
