Hi everyone!
I’ll be in Los Angeles for the American Film Market (AFM 2026) (Nov. 11) and would love to connect with fellow producers, sales agents, distributors, and equity partners who are also attending.
We are currently setting up the financing and distribution strategy for an upcoming comedy feature project and are open to discussing co-production opportunities, pre-sales, and strategic partnerships.
If you’re going to be in Century City during the market, I’d be great to grab a quick coffee, exchange slates, or just catch up and network.
Feel free to drop a comment below or send me a direct message here on Stage 32 so we can coordinate a time to meet, even if you don't have plans after the event to grab a drink together and exchange ideas or points of view.
Looking forward to connecting!

Best of luck at AFM, Valerio! A comedy feature is a smart slate to bring to the market. One small tip from the post side: buyers increasingly ask early what the finishing plan looks like (grade, HDR/SDR masters, DCP), so having that mapped in the budget can make the pre-sales conversation smoother. Hope you come back with great partners for Cantina Digitale.

Some notes from experience at AFM, so you can go in with the proper expectations.
1) Comedies don’t tend to sell well internationally, so buyers at AFM (who are looking to sell overseas) may be less interested.
2) It sounds like you haven’t made the movie yet. When I went to AFM, I was in a similar boat. many buyers I approached didn’t want to meet because they’re only interested in finished films.
These are not reasons not to go, just be aware of what you’re up against.

Hi Valerio, I’ll be at AFM as well, working primarily around international sales, acquisitions and licensing. Your comedy project sounds interesting. I’d be happy to hear more about it and what stage you’re currently at with financing and distribution. Perhaps we can connect in Century City during the market.
Update: since is so difficult to have a list of Producers and Sales Agent I just have record mine, if someone want to share with me, message me in private, thank you
