Join Story Kitchen co-founders Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg, producers behind Sonic the Hedgehog, Tomb Raider, and more, alongside BAFTA North America board member and games committee chair Julia Bianco, for a focused round-table on expanding game IP into film, television, animation, and emerging platforms.

  • Choosing Partners
    What to look for in an external partner or how to position yourself as a service provider, and how to build partnerships that protect the core vision while enabling healthy collaboration.
  • Best Practices
    Insight into rights, revenue splits, contracts, and production workflows that keep adaptations on track – with a focus on building sustainable pipelines between game teams and external partners.
