Both the programming and market Advisory Boards have been carefully selected to deliver a wealth of experience and insight into the lifecycle of productions across every cross section of the screen industry. It is these board members who aid in curating an exciting, engaging, and robust SCREEN FOREVER 37 program and market,” said Matthew Deaner, CEO, SPA.
