Bobby Meyers, Longtime International Distribution Executive and Founding Member of American Film Market, Dies at 90
Robert "Bobby" Meyers, a film distribution executive who was instrumental in the launch of the American Film Market, died Sunday.
Early in his career, Meyers joined Columbia Pictures International where he served in Paris and Brussels, becoming European Sales Manager. As selling foreign pre-sales rights as a means of financing films in production took off, he helped launch the AFM when he saw the need for a Hollywood-based sales event. Bobby was a trusted colleague, a confident, and an advisor whose insight and support mattered to me and to all who had the pleasure of working with him.”
