Welcome to the VOD Film Festival in Los Angeles. The future of Film Festivals is here.
All of the officially selected films will have the privilege of a presentation and edited video trailers to be submitted to any channel or VOD group.
2019 EDITION: November 6 – 13, 2019 • Santa Monica (DURING AMERICAN FILM MARKET)
There is nothing more productive than seeing the entire global catalogue of available films and new projects.
Enter the headquarters for film buyers, where 400+ sales companies unveil 2,000+ new films and projects from around the world for the first time. American Film Market is the most anticipated event for acquiring rights to new films because production companies have developed a wide range of projects since Cannes — more than $1 billion in deals close here each year.
AFM’s convenient campus connects you with sales companies from around the globe, providing unmatched opportunities both for business and for reconnecting with your valued community, all without the distraction of a film festival. Location is key — the market’s beachfront Santa Monica locale allows you to build relationships within the Hollywood community, home to more film industry companies and professionals than anywhere else in the world. AFM is more business-oriented than any other film market, and time spent here will yield returns.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once you have submitted your film, our team will be responsible for selecting the projects and creating a presentation with all of our winning projects.
The awarded filmmakers will select 2 channels to have their film submitted to by one of our executive producers. In case of client interest – we will send all the information and put the awarded producers/filmmakers in contact with the interested channel. All the films are eligible to be selected by one of our representatives, each will have a space in our book of awarded films.
We will help you find the best way to distribute, finance or license your project.
“By October 2018, Netflix’s customer base reached 137 million worldwide, confirming its rank as by far the world’s biggest online subscription video service.” As far the market goes, we have the biggest online database to sell and share projects with all TV and VOD channels.
Our executive producers will have a list of films to share with the channels. You have the opportunity to be seen by thousands of creative and industry workers.
The channels may be looking for specific projects – sometimes dramas, sometimes thrillers, or maybe animations. They want the best original ideas.
What we will do for you? Searching for financing to make a film can be extraordinarily difficult. By increasing contact between filmmakers and investors, the sector is hoping to make it much easier for creators to send their work into the industry world. We will edit your information in videos and submit a book/online presentation to the representative of original content in departments of many companies such as: ABC, Amazon Prime Video, Anonymous Content, CBS Films, Netflix, HBO Films, Paramount Pictures, FX, Universal, Bad Robot, 20th Century Fox, Hulu, Canal +, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Turner Broadcasting System, A&E, BBC, Disney, Paradigm, Sony Pictures Television (AXN), E!, Starz Entertainment, Discovery and many others throughout 191 countries. **We will not pitch your project to any Channel or distributor – in case of interest, we will put you in contact with the producers/directors to negotiate.
First, you need to select your film category:
• Short Films / Feature Films / Episodic Series / WEB / TV / Screenplay / Music Video / Commercial ...
Then, you choose the categories you want to be considered for: Best Cinematography / Best Actress / Best Original Idea / Best Score / Best Director …
These categories will help us to put your film into different pages so that it can be seen by many different agents. If they are looking for a specific type of project, you can help them find your work.
