 NATPE heads to Miami Beach in 2011
NATPE (National Association of Television Program Executives) is taking its 2011
television market next January to the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. Over
the years NATPE has evolved toward increasing involvement by Latin American
television professionals. With the Latin American’s in mind, NATPE’s transition
to Miami seems logical as many such potential participants have offices and
homes in Miami which will save travel and lodging expenses. Recently the 1,500
room Fontainebleau Hotel underwent a reported $1 billion renovation.

 NATPE: New media platforms bring
big opportunities for filmmakers and television producers
As Bill Clinton’s campaign staff said in the ‘90s, “It's the economy, stupid”.
The elephant in the room at this year’s NATPE (National Association of
Television Program Executives) television market was the estimated 2,000
participants as compared to the 6,500 record in 2008. Needless to say the
surviving distributors were selling to fewer rights buyers from around the
world. That was the bad news.
The good news is...

 Filmmaker Robin Peters at AFM
by Yayoi Lena Winfrey
Dreams are a way of life for filmmaker Robin Peters. The owner of Dreamscape
Cinema knows how important it is to have a dream and the hard work it takes to
make it come true. At the age of 12, Peters was just dreaming about becoming a
filmmaker. But by the time he was 30, his dream came true when he made his first
film. Peters has been making movies ever since. With six feature films in
distribution, and many more in various stages of development and production, the
busy filmmaker vows to never stop dreaming about making more films.

 Filmmaker Bryan Hall’s take on AFM 2009
Here's my take on AFM this year. I went with a finished film in hand, Paper
Boys, a hip, irreverent teenage boy's coming-of-age film with a serious main
story and a series comic ensemble relief. Forty-five screeners were distributed
about a month before the market and a little bit of validation of the film's
merit from a few festivals and awards. Our film had no known actors and was for
the most part, a drama, but could be marketed for its comic relief much like
Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Dead Poets Society.

 After the Market
2009 American Film Market
by Yayoi Lena Winfrey
Even as the American Film Market (AFM) celebrated its 30th anniversary, an
economic pall seemed to spoil the party. In spite of 8,000 attendees from over
70 countries participating in the ten-day buying and selling frenzy, it appeared
that festive excesses of the past were no more.

 Filmmaker Chris Abell’s Talks About AFM 2009
by Chris Abell
In 2005 I attended the AFM as an attendee with no film, no finished script and quite frankly no idea what I was doing there. It seemed I had been hurled into a bizarre world of film I had not prepared for. Only upon my return to the 2009 AFM with a finished feature film did I truly understand the complexities of the business surrounding film and my role in it. I felt more like a business man than a film maker.

 The American Film Market (AFM)
November 4-11 Santa Monica
by Yayoi Lena Winfrey
This November marks the 30th year for the American Film Market. That fact alone
proves just how much it’s needed--even during these economically trying times
and, perhaps, even more now because of it.
When I first moved to Santa Monica in 1996, I became intrigued by the banners
dotting the city announcing that AFM was in town. Back then, the Market was held
in February, and signs in retail outlets and restaurants that welcomed it back
were omnipresent...

 To Survive, Independents Must Create Unique Films
In his address at the IFTA Production Conference held recently in Santa Monica,
keynote speaker Bill Mechanic, President/CEO of Pandemonium LLC and former
Chairman/CEO of Fox Filmed Entertainment, said that independent producers are
being blocked by too many insignificant movies clogging the distribution
channels. Tightening economic conditions have sent sharp pains through the
industry with vibrant markets such as DVD and TV having “evaporated in front of
our eyes”. Mechanic said the question is whether the condition is fatal.
Mechanic said the reason he was pushed out the door of Fox was because
