Tokyo International Film Festival Film Market (TIFCOM2004)

[Rob Schwartz]

Markus-

your absolutely right, it is basically a failure.

My experience in 2005 was that it seemed like very moderate activity on the
first day and by the second day the place was deserted. I reported as such
for Variety with a few quotes from Western buyers. I can dig up the story if
you'd like to see it (or perhaps you saw it).

Best,

Rob Schwartz
