Anne Marie Gillen

I am an independent Filmmaker, Consultant, Lecturer and Creative Entrepreneur Coach who is extensively experienced in film and media development, financing and worldwide distribution. I have produced everything from studio films (Fried Green Tomatoes), to passion projects (Under Suspicion starring Morgan Freeman + Gene Hackman) and low-budget fare (Into Temptation starring Jeremy Sisto+ Kristin Chenoweth).

I am the co-author of the 3rd edition of The Producer’s Business Handbook – published by Focal Press and co-branded by VARIETY. My second book The Business of Show Business for Creatives was also published by Focal Press and co-branded by American Film Market (AFM). The AFM is produced by the Independent Film & Television Alliance®

My consulting division offers business planning, script analysis, worldwide distribution consultation and internal greenlighting (project and/or film company cash flow projections) services to independent film producers and investors.
