I'm thrilled to announce today that for the 7th straight year, Stage 32 and the American Film Market have partnered to bring new opportunities and access to attendees of America's largest film market.

Stage 32 is proud to continue as the official Networking and Education partner of AFM 2022. The American Film Market (AFM) is where the business of film comes to life every November and where the next great films will be on display and discovered by the world’s buyers. As a filmmaker, producer, and/or screenwriter, the Market can be career-changing if you are well-prepared and create a strategic roadmap utilizing all the tools and resources the AFM provides.

To kick off Stage 32's partnership with AFM this year, we wanted to help set you and your project up for success. And who better to show you how to conquer AFM than some of the top industry executives at the market?

Below, you'll find AFM's online orientation "How to Work the AFM" with Jean Prewitt (President/CEO of the Independent Film & Television Alliance, which produces the AFM), Clay Epstein (President, Film Mode Entertainment), and Walea Constantinau (Film Commissioner, Honolulu Film Office). These speakers give you tangible tips and information to save you time and energy and put this valuable information into practice today so that you're ready for AFM in November.

As the official networking and education partner of AFM, all attendees who sign up for the conference will receive a FREE Stage 32 Next Level Webinar to further assist their craft and/or industry pursuits.
