Established in 1989 as a consulting company for the acquisition of feature films for all media, FILM FINDERS also serves the needs of producers seeking buyers and development, production and acquisition executives and distributors worldwide seeking product, co productions and financial partners.

By maintaining a large, frequently updated database of independent English language and non English language films in all stages of development through production which are available for acquisition and/ or coventures, FILM FINDERS also provides important information on remake material and on upcoming directorial and acting talent.

Distribution companies looking for product for U.S. and international markets use FILM FINDERS' reports as a truly cost effective way to free executive staff from tracking chores and give them time to travel prepared, screen films, read scripts, nurture producer relationships and conduct negotiations.

Corporate development and acquisitions departments that need to track films are kept current, competitive and thus are positioned to pick up the best films before the competition.

Producers, at no cost and with little effort, keep prospective buyers apprised of their projects, screenings and new developments and have direct contact with the universe of acquisitions executives.



A computerized database maintained by FILM FINDERS tracks approximately 4,000 new titles annually in various stages of production.  These include independent features, as well as the top non-English language films, all of which are available for distribution and/or co-production.
* Titles can be retrieved according to genre, stage of production, rights available, producer, writer, director and cast as well as other categories.
* Hundreds of titles have no international sales agent and are available for worldwide pickup or equity investment.

FILM FINDERS reports are published in a variety of formats and issued quarterly, monthly and weekly.
* The multi volume QUARTERLY with thousands of new titles available for acquisition is issued four times per year.
* Our MONTHLY volume contains over a thousand new and changed titles.
* THE FRIDAY REPORT, is delivered forty times per year.
* Complete FESTIVAL REPORTS are delivered throughout the year well in advance of all major world film festivals.

In addition, the MARKET PREMINDER is delivered to subscribers weeks before each major international market (AFM, the BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL AND MARKET and CANNES) and enables them to see what films will be screening with times and venues and which are available for their territories.
* Hundreds of international sales agents with their total line up and rights availabilities for 40 territories.
* Includes screening times and venues.
* Distributors using these reports can schedule their screening and meeting times most effectively before any market.
