The American Film Market (AFM) takes place over 8 days at the Lowes Hotel in Santa Monica Nov 6 – 13 th , 2019). This is a market to connect both productions looking to sell a film and also the companies that are looking to acquire content. Interestingly, these filmmakers also always have another project (or

10) they are working on, hence, exhibiting at this event yields many location requests in Riverside County once they learn how close we are to the L.A. area and how much service we can offer. Multiple productions have already called for assistance and come to Riverside to scout their desired locations.

Riverside County Districts: A Snap Shot

D1: Riverside County’s Behavioral Health Buildings on Rustin Ave and Myers St. were scouted for a feature film. Production would love the locations to play as the “group home”. They plan to film for 14 days at these facilities and 90% of the movie will be filmed in Riverside they will put 7 stars at local hotel for 14 days and plan to hire local crew and caterers to work on this film. D2: With Streaming Wars intensifying and some streaming goliaths recently launching new services, independent filmmakers have opportunities to get their films to the screen like never before. VET Tv is amongst these streaming platforms hoping to engage a community of watchers that will subscribe to their platform. Launched in 2017 by retired Marine Capt. Donny O’Malley, this streaming TV show films all of their content in Riverside County due to the assistance received from the Riverside County Film Commission. A feature article has been written about them in the November issue of Media Play News. https://www.mediaplaynews.com/streaming-wars-niche-services-soldier-on/?hilite=%27streaming%27 D3: Feature Film “The Dawn” was filmed at Lawler Lodge and was recently picked up for distribution while pitching at the American Film Market early November 2019.

Subsequently staff posted the RFP for the land development at the French Valley Airport on March 22, 2019. The deadline to submit a proposal for this RFP was July 15, 2019. Staff received one bid for the RFP from Barbers Point Holding and the initial evaluation interview took place on August 6 and August 26, 2019.

To date, no bank letter has been received. A follow-up meeting has been scheduled on Friday, December 13, 2019 with Barbers Point Holdings for discussion of pending requested items to continue consideration of development.  The 2019 French Valley Wings and Wine Air Show on November 9, 2019.
