What our participants have to say about our program
Festival de Cannes & Marche du Film Testimonials
“I couldn’t imagine going to Cannes for the first TIME without having Film Market Access to guide me. Obtaining my accreditation/accommodations, being part of Canada Pavilion, even knowing the hot spots, would have been very difficult on my own. Kirk Cooper knows Cannes and knows how to assist filmmakers going to the Festival de Cannes.”
“Kirk is an amazing professional who has helped me understand the lengths of my potential within the film industry. I invested in Film Market Access program in Cannes 2012 and I would be ready to do so again.”
“The first year I attended the Cannes Film Festival, I did the best I could, but it was overwhelming. There is so much going on. I met lots of people, but in a haphazard, random way–starting conversations cold with anyone who was interested, working at scoring invites into parties I wasn’t invited to… it was hard to know how to make the most of my time and how to connect with the right people. The second year I attended, I went with FMA, it was like night and day! I had proper meetings lined up with people who could actually help get my projects off the ground, met and connected with industry people that I am now actually working with. ”
Toronto International Film Festival Testimonials
“For me, FMA was a positive experience on many levels. First, the Cannes program offered the intimacy of the networking combined with the calibre of participants that I’ve had the pleasure of working with in various capacities post Cannes program. Secondly, as a host company the Toronto Film Program internship program has provided exceptional intern support for my colleagues and myself, as we conduct business during TIFF over the last 3 years.”
“Don’t imagine it – I lived the experience at TIFF.”
Frontières Co-production Market (Montréal, QC) Testimonials
“During Fantasia Film Festival – one of the largest international genre festivals – I was able to understand a deeply connected community and committed fan base. The intimate co-production market is extremely valuable. Thanks to FMA Market Readiness Program I was able to learn , connect and grow from the experience.”
“Film Market Access was a wonderful experience as I navigate my filmmaking career. Kirk Cooper gave a phenomenal amount of marketing guidance as I packaged my projects. After I finished my first festival experience with FMA, I immediately realized Kirk brings a wealth of experience and knowledge for any emerging filmmaker.“
