Deal making is the livelihood of most filmmakers, producers,
and screenwriters. The most lucrative
events to attend to be involved in such deal making are the Cannes Film Festival,
the American Film Market, and MIP Tv. These events allow filmmakers to share their
project with the world and gain financing or distribution for that project.
Recognition at Cannes can skyrocket the career of a novice and destroy the
career of an expert, both at the same time.

Film Market is an eight-day event, full of deal making. This year, it takes place November 6th
to November 13th in Santa Monica, California. Films in every stage of development are
closed on, with hope of massive profit and popularity. From Conferences include finance,
pitching, production, marketing and distribution. After classes, the market
opens up. Deals can include packaging, developing, financing, licensing and
distributing projects. The possibilities
literally seem endless by attending such a recognized event. Major brands like Audi and Wells Fargo attend
to reach filmmakers and screenwriters as well.

place in a conference like manner. Classes cover everything from film treatment
to screen.

and exhibiting a project, filmmakers may also advertise their company and
project on banners at the event, the screening catalogue, staircase and column
signage, trailer streams, atrium banners, event bag art, event bag inserts, and
much more. Investing in an event like
the American Film Market can make a gigantic difference in someone’s film career. It’s well worth the investment.If a production company is truly serious about what projects

$3,500 and up. Exhibitors may have tables at the event and also may screen
their films at the event.
