The American Film Market is taking place as we speak – this is a mad few days of selling films where every producer, distributor, contracted acquisitions hand, and in some cases, filmmaker, pitches and hopes to consequently sell a film… or films.

It’s also a great place to find out about upcoming films. Many of the majors – but not just – are there with newly mocked-up posters of films they’re trying to get financed, or looking for a partner on, for the world to see.

Here’s what’s been spotted at AFM so-far…
