AFM was a great experience. Very well organized and there was plenty to do (workshops, screenings, lounges, exhibitors), especially since it was at the Fairmont Century Plaza, which is right across the street from Westfield Century Center.
Learned quite a bit about where the industry is going, what are the challenges, and what it means for writers/producers/distributors.
Hollywood has priced themselves out of the market in a few ways, so it's definitely going to be an hill battle. From exorbitant budgets to uncompromising unions, there needs to be some major discussions if they're going to turn things back around and bring movies back to LA.
