Directory of INTERNATIONAL SALES AGENTS INTRODUCTION

Home , Bootmen, Death Defying Acts, Japanese Story, Lionsgate, Mad Bastards, The Last Impresario

This directory of international feature film sales agents provides a snapshot of companies representing Australian films around the world.

Included within are details of each seller’s acquisition policy, which markets they attend, at what stage they prefer to be approached and whether they pay advances. There’s also a list of the Australian films that agents have handled.

The directory was compiled through contact with sellers and information derived from Screen Australia’s market reports, forums and other activities since 2012.

When appointing a sales agent, producers of commercially attractive titles are encouraged to negotiate for beneficial terms. Less experienced producers should ask around before signing up with an agent to be sure they have found the right sales partner before proceeding.

Screen Australia regularly updates this directory following key markets.
