Indie Film Hustle® - A Filmmaking Podcast IFH 514: How to Sell Your Film in Today's World with AFM's Jonathan Wolf
Nov 2, 2021
01:08:05
Today on the show we welcome back to the show Jonathan Wolf, Executive Vice President of the Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA®) and Managing Director of the American Film Market (AFM).
The American Film Market is the most efficient film acquisition, development, and networking event in the world. Unlike a film 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 7,000 industry professionals from more than 70 countries converge in Santa Monica every November. They include acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys, directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers, film commissioners, producers, writers, the world’s press, and all those who provide services to the motion picture industry.
At AFM, participants can discover the entire global catalog of available films and projects, attend 50+ world-class conferences, roundtables, and presentations, and connect with the independent film community’s decision-makers, all in one convenient location without the distraction of a film festival.
The American Film Market 2021 will go on during this crazy time but not how you might think. AFM will be conducted completely online.
I'll also be speaking at this year's AFM with my good friend and film distributor Linda Nelson on November 3, 2021, at 9am PST.
Jonathan and I discuss how to sell your film on today's ever-changing world.
Enjoy my conversation with Johnathan Wolf from the American Film Market.
