Listen to/Watch entire show:
The Cannes Film Festival is full of big stars, yachts and artsy movies. But behind the scenes, at the Cannes film market, hundreds of independent producers look for money from foreign buyers to make their next movies. Jonathan Wolf, managing director of the American Film Market (AFM) gives us a report on what’s for sale and who’s buying at Cannes. Plus, the broadcast TV networks had their high stakes sales event last week--unveiling their fall shows for advertisers at the upfronts. Kim Masters was there. She and James Hibberd of The Hollywood Reporter talk about the presentations and what we’ll all be watching in the fall.
Jonathan Wolf is Executive Vice President of the Independent Film & Television Alliance and Managing Director of the American Film Market. He joined us by phone from Cannes.
James Hibberd writes "The Live Feed" blog for "The Hollywood Reporter." He attended the television upfront presentations by networks in New York -- as did Kim Masters-- the two of them discuss the lowdown on the 2010 upfronts.
