Description

Do filmmakers still need a Producer’s Rep?

We break down the history of producers reps, why they mattered in the 90s, and how direct access to acquisitions execs at markets like AFM, EFM, and Cannes has changed the game. Learn when a rep might still make sense—and when you’re better off handling distribution yourself.
