While Abby definitely has a lot going on, what interested me most was how she leveraged a seat at one of the biggest film markets in the world, AFM (American Film Market) to parlay that into multiple options for her various film and tv projects. If you are an actor who also has their hand in production (and if you're not, you should) then this episode is going
