Meanwhile speakers at the AFM Sessions’ opening finance conference, dubbed “The Risk Takers,” include Jason Cloth , Milan Popelka , Laura Lewis and Basil Iwanyk .
“The early commitments and excitement by companies around the world to be in Santa Monica, along with the projects coming together, say that the industry is back to business,” said IFTA’s president and CEO Jean Prewitt. “While business models have clearly shifted, independent film will forever be built on discovery, collaboration, innovation and serendipity, making the need for annual face-to-face gatherings like AFM essential to our industry.
Alongside the event updates, the IFTA has announced two new hires in Matthew Thompson and Catherine Girard-Cobb to the newly-created roles of co-managing directors, AFM, reporting to Prewitt. “Matthew and Catherine bring a wealth of combined event experience in line with the AFM” said Prewitt. “Their skills and insights complement our established and talented team and strengthen our ability to meet the changing needs of our industry as we look to our in-person return this year and the future.”
