We are delighted to deliver the current edition of Pickle to participants at the 45th American Film Market, unquestionably North America’s greatest venue for deal-making, screenings, seminars, and networking.

More than 4,000 business professionals from over 80 nations are expected to assemble in Las Vegas. The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas will host AFM24 for six days, from November 5 to November 10, 2024.

AFM’s Location Expo, which debuted in 2017, is an important addition to the market, bringing together film commissioners and production service suppliers in one location. There is a strong rivalry among film commissioners to promote locales to filmmakers with production screenplays.

AFM features more than thirty Indian enterprises from a variety of media and entertainment areas. Here you will find some of India’s fastest rising media service firms. Their worldwide business methods provide global clients with a comprehensive answer to all of their entertainment service needs. A large number of firms are involved in AFM to share and distribute material. We provide a one-of-a-kind collection of filming venues across India’s film-friendly states.

AFM represents the essence of independent cinema producers, directors, buyers, content providers, consultants, and counsellors worldwide. In addition to Film Commissions in the United States, Film Commissions from all around the world are displaying their locations and services here.

India’s media and entertainment industry has over 200 million TV households, more than 950 satellite TV channels, approximately 900 million internet users, approximately 650 million smartphone users, and an impressive annual film production of 2000 films, creating exciting growth opportunities for both global and domestic companies. The Indian media environment is changing quickly. This market is one of the few in the world where both conventional and new media flourish.

The M&E business in India is unique because to its multilingualism, strong cultural narratives, and global storytelling culture. This creative ecosystem has created significant animations, films, television shows, and digital media. This ecosystem has grown as a result of government policies and activities. This issue’s interview with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Secretary highlights how “Create in India” programs boost India’s global M&E presence.

Initiatives like WAVES Summit and NCoE for AVGC-XR are set to help India become a global media and entertainment powerhouse by offering opportunities to collaborate coupled with competent professionals with world-class training.

Make plans to attend WAVES from February 5 to 9, 2025, in New Delhi. Please do not hesitate to send your views and recommendations via email. We are glad to answer any queries you may have and are only a few clicks away from scheduling meetings (http://www.pickle.co.in) to collaborate with Indian media and entertainment organisations. Please contact us if you want to connect with someone in the Indian M&E business.
