Mark Litwak points towards a useful resource: the Independent Film and Television Alliance (IFTA) website, in particular the portion of the website which includes summaries of recent arbitral decisions. While the summaries are generally quite abstract, the names of the parties are included, so it could prove useful when doing due diligence on potential participants in a project. The website also contains sample arbitration clauses for use in agreements, and the text of the IFTA rules for international arbitrations.
