Film Finders now offers, for theatrical films of all genres and lengths, consulting services regarding US and
worldwide distribution, financing, packaging, international co-production partners, festival and market strategy.
Film Finders is a 20 year old company founded by Sydney Levine and Peter Belsito. Consulting has always been a part of our services although our core business is subscriptions to database reports for acquisitions executives distributors, agencies, festivals and markets. We have a unique perspective because we travel extensively and collect information throughout the year from buyers, sellers and producers, and we have been in business for 15 years. Because our company is a connecting link between buyers and sellers who interact mostly at the major and minor events on the yearly circuit, we can provide intellingent access to the international scene of independent deal and movie making. We also provide to and receive from data from many festivals and markets and we attend Cannes, Toronto, Sundance, Rotterdam, Berlin and many smaller markets and festivals such as Sarasota, Haugesund Norway, Goteborg Sweden, San Sebastaian Spain, Moscow, Karlovy Vary Czech Republic, Taos, etc.. We have expanded ties to domestic and international financial instutions, national funding agencies, and producers and sales agents world wide. Our database contains 60,000 titles produced in the past 20 years with full descriptions, interrelated tables of companies and personnel, and rights holders of 40 international territories including the United States. This is an invaluable consulting resource. We would sum up our philosophy as "Information, Options, Access" in the following areas: |
| ||||||||
| * | Distribution (either for an already completed or a "to be completed" film) for projects seeking orientation to the international or domestic distribution scene. | ||||||||
| * | Producers with films seeking reps, lawyers or agency/ studio deals. | ||||||||
| * | Funding for single packaged pictures (or for slates) either in whole or gap. | ||||||||
| * | International co-production partners. | ||||||||
| * | International tax shelter deals and various treaty benefits per production country including location/ production rebates. | ||||||||
| * | International sales agent representation (US or non domestic based companies). | ||||||||
| * | US and world festival and market strategy. | ||||||||
| * | Guidance to the festival and market world and the players therein. We can provide options and "filter" contacts to make for productive meetings and introductions. | ||||||||
| * | Help in arranging itineraries for trips abroad or to targeted events (festivals, markets). | ||||||||
