Autumn Bailey Entertainment

What Autumn Bailey Entertainment does

Autumn Bailey Entertainment (ABE) is an Atlanta, Georgia-based independent film and television production company founded by Autumn Bailey-Ford. The company offers end-to-end production services spanning screenplay development, physical production, creative direction, script coverage, book-to-film adaptation, and domestic and international distribution, serving primarily independent filmmakers and secondarily studio and production-company partners seeking co-production or local production support in the Southeast.

ABE operates alongside a co-production venture called Prominent Productions, established in 2019 with Cameron Burnett (son of Hollywood producer Mark Burnett) to extend reach across both U.S. coasts. The company's go-to-market is sales-led and relies on direct engagement with filmmakers and studios, supplemented by founder-led brand-building through community platforms including the annual Georgia Entertainment Gala (founded 2013, 1800+ attendees) and the monthly Get Connected Atlanta industry mixer (founded 2011). Strategic partnerships with Assembly Studios and Universal Production Services provide access to professional production infrastructure without asset ownership. An affiliated nonprofit, the Autumn Bailey Ford Foundation, supports youth mentorship and community enrichment in Atlanta and York, Pennsylvania.

The business model is project-based professional services, with revenue generated through producer fees, co-production arrangements, distribution fees and backend participation, and creative development consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted on a per-project basis. ABE is founder-owned, privately held, and operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees supplemented by an internship program.

Emerging players

• MacRo: Independent film, television, and digital content company. Comparable model producing independent content with mission-driven framing, similar in stage and size to ABE, though based in LA.
• Eleanor Coppola's American Zoetrope: Independent film production company with focus on filmmaker-driven content. Comparable vertically integrated model to ABE, with similar emphasis on creative development and independent filmmaker relationships.

Direct peers

• Killer Films: Independent film and television production company known for prestige content. Similar model to ABE in providing full-service production for independent projects, though with a longer track record of festival and awards success.
• Participant Media: Independent production company focused on socially conscious film and TV content. Comparable mission-driven approach to ABE's 'stories that inspire change' positioning, with both developing and producing independent films.
• Blumhouse Productions: Independent film and television production company known for low-budget, high-margin genre content. Comparable to ABE in serving independent filmmakers and operating a producer-driven model, though with much greater capital resources.
• Plan B Entertainment: Independent film and television production company producing a wide slate of content. Comparable vertically integrated development-to-production model to ABE, though with major star-driven deal flow and institutional backing.
• Annapurna Pictures: Independent film production and distribution company. Directly comparable to ABE in producing and distributing independent films, though Annapurna operates at a much larger scale with a major studio distribution partnership.
• A24: Independent film and television production and distribution company. A24 is the most prominent indie producer-distributor and competes with ABE for similar independent filmmaker relationships and projects, though at a vastly larger scale.

Regional players

• Tyler Perry Studios: Major Atlanta-based film and television production facility. Regional peer sharing the same Atlanta/Georgia production hub as ABE and likely competing for the same crew, talent, and tax incentive advantages.

Broad incumbents

• Lionsgate: Major independent studio with film and TV production and distribution operations. Overlaps with ABE in indie film production, distribution support, and co-production arrangements, but at much larger scale with institutional backing.
