Netflix and Amazon Join AFCI Advisory Board

Netflix, Amazon MGM have become part of the consultative group for the International Association of Film Commissioners (IAFC), a worldwide association that represents government film offices.

Two prominent streaming platforms have been added to an existing board, which currently consists of representatives from Disney, Sony, Warner Bros., NBCUniversal, as well as Lionsgate and Paramount.

The AFCI (Association of Film Commissioners International) unites film commissioners globally to stay informed about industry developments. These commissioners work on attracting film productions to their respective regions by acting as intermediaries with local governments and promoting their tax incentives to big studios. Essentially, they aim to bring production opportunities to their states or countries. The organization arranges an annual conference, which will take place in Cincinnati this September, along with other events throughout the year.

The advisory board largely consists of production executives from the major studios.

This Monday, it was revealed that Rochelle Bussey from the New Mexico Film Office, Henrik JP Akesson Ruben representing the Southern Sweden Film Commission, and Donne Dawson hailing from the Hawaii State Film Office were all elected to serve on the board of directors for the AFCI.

The board chose to keep its existing leadership team in place. Marnie Gee from Creative BC continues as the chairperson, with Luke Azevedo from the Calgary Film Office serving as vice-chairperson. Nina Parikh of the Mississippi Film Office holds the position of second vice-chairperson. Gina Black, representing the Gold Coast Film Commission, is still the secretary, and Steven Davenport from Screen Ireland remains the treasurer.
