- Roeg Sutherland, co-head of CAA's media finance department and international film group, used the Zurich Summit stage on Saturday to point to "La Bola Negra" as evidence that American audiences are increasingly consuming international films.
- Sutherland said there is "more money out there than there ever was" in the film market, framing the abundance of capital as grounds for optimism in the international film space.
Why it matters: Coming from a senior CAA media-finance executive at a flagship industry summit, Sutherland's "more money than ever" framing offers a counter-narrative to widespread anxiety about independent-film financing — giving international producers and sellers a bullish talking point heading into upcoming market activity.
