Easy Talk: Chinese films going global, promising yet challenging

Over the past decade, many Chinese films that have earned massive amounts at the box-office and broken records in the domestic market have often flopped in North America.

With the aim of taking Chinese films to a global audience, Cinedigm, a leading independent content distributor in the United States, plans to enter strategic alliances with six Chinese movie and television companies. What is the biggest challenge Chinese films face in terms of going global? Easy Talk speaks to Chris McGurk, a veteran who has worked in the US movie and television industries for more than 30 years, now chairman and CEO of Cinedigm, and
Bill Sondheim, president of Cinedigm's Entertainment Group.
