After paying out $4.5 million for the Jan-Feb period, Screenrights have distributed a further $3.7m to filmmakers during March and April.
The latest round of Screenrights payments were from all services, including educational royalties from Australia and New Zealand
Screenrights Member Services Executive Emma Rogers said the team commenced distributing royalties collected for retransmission by pay television operators since March 2001, only five months ago.
“We have already paid out almost a quarter of this money,” she said. “This is an excellent result, and wouldn’t have been possible without members registering their titles so quickly with us.”
“This money will keep coming in, so its important that members remember to register any new titles with us as soon as they are completed,” she said.
