Adam Carolla, comedian, podcast king, New York Times Best Selling Author...returns to AFM as a speakerAdam Carolla, comedian, podcast king, New York Times Best Selling Author and crowdfunding leader will participate in an Industry Conversation discussing the making of his film Road Hard at the American Film Market (AFM) on Sunday, November 9th. The conversation, titled Road Hard – A Comedian’s Journey from Crowdfunding to Distribution, will give Carolla a forum to discuss challenges and triumphs of funding a film, taking it through production, and working towards distribution.
In 2013, Carolla led a successful crowd funding campaign, raising $1.5 million for his movie, Road Hard via the website FundAnything.com, which became the subject of his keynote address at last year’s AFM Production Conference. Within the past year, he went on to write, direct, and star in the film which shows the journey of a former standup-turned-sitcom-star who, after the cancellation of his show and a divorce, is forced to go back on the road and perform at the dumpy clubs he played on the way up.
“When I attended the AFM last year, Road Hard was just getting off the ground with the successful crowdfunding campaign. I’m thrilled to return to the AFM with this project in post-production, and share all the new experiences gained while making the film” said Adam Carolla.
“Writer, producer, director, actor, bestselling author, Guinness World Record for most downloaded podcast, winner of the Long Beach Grand Prix Pro/Celebrity Race and, of course, a master of crowdfunding. We’re thrilled to welcome Adam Carolla back to AFM. He is the ultimate entrepreneur and a true renaissance man,” said Jonathan Wolf, Managing Director of the AFM.
The AFM Industry Conversation with Adam Carolla will take place at 3:00pm, at the AFM Studio in the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. For further information about the AFM please visit: http://www.americanfilmmarket.com/
