Seen & Heard At the 2013 AFM
at the American Film Market, Mark Burnett & Adam Carolla gave keynote speeches discussing family value programming & crowdfunding. While Mark Burnett was on one side of the AFM campus telling a packed audience (at the Audio Studio at the Loews Hotel ) the role that GOD played in the creation and success of his series, 'The Bible,' Adam Carolla told the audience during his speech at the Production Conference "....And by the way I'm an Atheist" as he left the stage at the Fairmont Hotel on the other side of the AFM campus.

On receiving inspiration from a higher calling to create ‘The Bible’:
"You have to get up and do some work when you're called."
On the success of 'The Bible':
"It's a God thing. Just because you're in the faith business, doesn't mean you get to create crappy product."
On discussing the making of The Bible Miniseries:
"We didn't want to tell you how to think about the bible -- we wanted you to feel it."
Referring to the series ‘The Bible’:
"Do not underestimate this message, do NOT underestimate me."
On creating Faith Based Films:
"There is a market -- just keep praying. Don't underestimate the power of prayer."
