The American Film Association
Masterclass Series
Conversations with the people shaping how films are financed, made, and brought to audiences.
The series
A closer look at the work behind film.
Each month, AFA brings an industry professional into a focused conversation about their work. The series gives filmmakers, producers, and other film professionals direct insight into the choices, partnerships, and business decisions behind a career in film.
A $150 pass can be used once for any future speaker in the series. Attend that session live or watch its recording later. AFA membership offers a separate way to stay connected year-round.
