In February 2026 Claudia Roggero and Donato Di Pelino, the founding partners of DANDI.media, spent the European Film Market at the Berlinale with a specific goal: presenting developed projects to the producers, sales agents and financiers who could help move them into production.
What we brought to Berlin
We presented independent fiction projects rooted in true stories and looking for European co-producers, together with an Italian project with international ambition. Since then, the projects have continued their path through the markets: you can read where they stand on our Doppio Nodo Double Bind page.
Why we go to film markets
We do not wait for contracts to arrive at the end of a project. We work alongside producers from development: choosing the right co-production structure under the applicable treaties, building a clean chain of title, negotiating with partners and meeting the requirements of public funds and tax credits. Markets like the EFM are where those partnerships start, and where an entertainment lawyer who knows the market can make the difference between a conversation and a deal.
