Episode notes
In the second episode of The Screen Podcast at Cannes, the team takes a look at the UK’s presence in the market and the private equity boom. Host Wendy Mitchell is joined by Screen’s editor-in-chief Matt Mueller and senior UK and Ireland reporter Mona Tabbara to debate whether UK sales agents are making a comeback and why the programme is not so light on UK presence as it first appears. The trio also discusses the increase in private equity options following the launch of the Cannes Marche’s Investors’ Circle back in 2023.
