Favourite film
It would have to be Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire (main picture) for being surprisingly different. We, the buyers, are tired of reading and watching the same kinds of movies with different actors. I actually fell in love with the script for Slumdog before watching it and knew it was going to be something special, although I didn’t expect it to make quite as much money as it did.
Biggest news story
The increase in film deals at AFM. Everyone reported that there were less buyers and sellers this year, but there were still some key pick ups, including from Spain. The market proved that there is light at the end of the crisis tunnel and that business will pick up again gradually, although everyone is being more selective.
Changes in store for 2010
Further to what I said in the previous question I believe that we will see some sales agents and distributors struggle and maybe even fold next year and in 2011. There were some stalls at AFM which never saw any business throughout the entire market, there is no way they can survive.
