This year's AFM Premiere Screenings will include the world premieres of two high profile Kushner-Locke Co movies: Alfonso Arau's Picking Up The Pieces, starring Woody Allen with a cameo from Sharon Stone, and Burt Reynolds' directorial debut The Last Producer.
Sponsored by internet downloading outfit SightSound.com, the Santa Monica screening programme is made open to the public in order to help American Film Market buyers and sellers gauge audience responses. Admission badges are offered at a cost of $95 each.
Also being presented this year are: Intermedia's bawdy comedy Whipped; Newstar Worldwide's Rated X, featuring Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez in the porn industry film that was made for Showtime Networks; Gurinder Chadha's What's Cooking', this year's well-received opening night attraction at the Sundance Film Festival; as well as Lakeshore International's latest pickups, The Venice Project and Steal This Movie!
