Lift-Off Representation at AFM
The American Film Market is the most efficient film acquisition, development and networking event in the world. Unlike a festival, AFM is a marketplace where production and distribution deals are closed. More than US$1 billion in deals are sealed every year - on both completed films and those in every stage of development and production.
Over the last 2 months, we have been reviewing an incredible range of interesting projects from Network Members and selected 6 of those that we feel could benefit most from representation at AFM.
We will be meeting with sales agents, producers, and VOD platforms, with the aim of getting them in front of the right people for their projects.
