The American Film Market (AFM) is a film industry event held annually in early November. Historically, more than 7,000 people^[1] attend the eight-day annual event to network and to sell, finance, and acquire films.^[2] Participants come from more than 70 countries and include acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys, directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers, film commissioners, producers, writers, etc. Founded in 1981, the AFM is a marketplace for the film business, where, unlike a film festival, production and distribution deals are the main focus of the participants.^[3]
