TGFM is a dynamic project market created to assist producers of projects in the development stage to secure funding. Through one-on-one meetings, representatives (producers and directors) of selected projects will be invited to Tokyo where they will have the opportunity to engage with a diverse array of international film industry experts such as sales agents, distributors, production companies, financiers, broadcasters, investors, and more.
Notable Features of TGFM
Focus on Funding
TGFM places a strong emphasis on funding, requiring that participating projects have secured at least 60% of their total budget. This requirement ensures that the event attracts a multitude of robust projects with significant potential for successful completion. As a result, the one-on-one meetings conducted at TGFM can be highly focused and specific, centered around the funding goals of each project.
Focus on Projects with Asian Elements
Leveraging the unique attributes of TIFFCOM, Asia’s foremost multi-content market, TGFM focuses projects originating from Asian countries and regions or international projects that incorporate Asian elements.
