AFM – The American Film Market
What Is AFM?
AFM is The American Film Market. With over 400 distributors, 1,000 production companies, and 8,000 industry professionals, it’s no surprise the American Film Market is the place to be come November. What makes this event so special? Unlike the numerous film festivals throughout the year, the AFM’s sole purpose is to offer seven days of world-class networking opportunities. And to add to that the AFM takes place in beautiful Santa Monica, CA overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful beaches of Southern California.
AFM – American Film Market Returns to Los Angeles
Following a universally pandered move to Las Vegas, the American Film Market returns to Los Angeles. Having resided in Santa Monica for decades, which attracted distributors worldwide to enjoy the seaside town, Las Vegas was an unwelcome distraction.
Organizers clearly got the message and understand that being in Hollywood is important for the global film community, not Nevada.
