FACE TO FACE

AFM and its contemporary film markets are essential to bringing industry people together in one concentrated place where they can sit down face to face and focus on the business of creating, selling and distributing films while hearing first-hand what’s happening in different territories, especially in the era of platforms and evolving consumer preferences. “AFM has always been the big market,” said Millennium Media President Jeffery Greenstein. “You have Cannes in the spring and AFM in the fall. AFM is the market at this end of the year where everyone scrambles to bring their projects. At AFM I’m basically selling morning to night, from dusk to dawn.”
