"While I tend to go non-stop, it is always with tremendous results. I come home with new ideas and exciting prospects."
"The one-on-one, face-to-face time with the distributors is priceless. Not to mention being able to view the products. We saw films that we had dismissed due to title or distributor that we are now considering."
"As a film buyer, it's a crucial part of the film selection process to view new and library product, and also to be able to network and tap into the great pool of ideas."
