Producers Pitching Their Projects, powered by AI Forecasts

Largo.ai is teaming up again with AFM this year to host “Producers’ Pitches with AI Forecasts” — a high-intensity pitching session where global producers with projects in-development will go face-to-face with forecasts powered by Largo’ai production intelligence platform. Come and find out how data and AI are being used as a tool to better understand a film’s potential, audience, and story’s strong and weak points.

Pitches will be presented by 20 Producers who are currently working with Largo.ai to showcase their projects in front of an audience of AFM attendees including financiers, distributors and other producers looking for co-production opportunities.
