With the AFM heading to Las Vegas, a group of indie filmmakers are aiming to launch a “new film market and entertainment industry convention” in LA this October.
Organizers say The American Film Convention (AFC) will take place October 15-17, 2024 at Magic Box in Downtown Los Angeles.
CEO and founder Mitesh Patel, a grassroots independent filmmaker and producer, says the event will incorporate a “market, auction, conference, product and service showcase, workshop, talks and addresses, pitch fest, networking event, and filmed and live entertainment.”
As part of its offering organizers say it is aiming to “fill the gap” left by the departing AFM.
The organizers are ambitious: “The event offers more than 100,000 square feet of exhibition space and has room for 400 exhibitors and participants. We expect the convention to draw about 5,000 delegates in its first year,” they said.

Directed by Robert C. Anderson Jr., the film Bite the Dust is an action comedy. Despite being well-stocked with comic elements, the film gives out a very strong message to its audiences about atrocities that were committed against children in the 18th century. The plot involves two well-known bounty killers, Waco and Dutch, who have joined hands with a young lady to save the lives of some children working in a mine factory. The story of how they overcame a cruel baron to save the lives of the orphans has been well depicted in Bite the Dust. The American film has relied on well-known actors like Heather Wake, George Nelson, Russell Clay, and others for a proper execution of the movie, which they have done justice to. We are yet to find out whether the multiple series of events helped save the children from the brutal baron’s clutches or not.
