ABOUT US |

|
THE MISSION: We're representing films at many of the major Film/TV markets, including the American Film Market, Berlin, MIPTV, MIPCOM, DISCOP, Eurasia, the Cannes Film Festival/Market. Buyers from many countries attend these markets & visit our booths, providing us the opportunity to sell the film to individual territories throughout the world. Between markets, we place films for domestic & international release.
THE FILMS: We're interested in ALL GENRES and all types of film (narratives, docs, shorts, animation). We represent films for commercial reasons (i.e., it’s an easy sell) & we represent films simply because we feel it's a work of art that needs to be recognized.
THE MONEY: Phil Gorn is an independent filmmaker and has experienced many deals in the last 10 years. His earlier dealings for his own independent films usually ended with him seeing no money whatsoever. He’s signed his films with sales agents and – although on paper it looked as if he was receiving 75% or even 80% - the expenses always seemed to be higher than the money owed. That’s the reality of the independent filmmaker – at least the reality for many of the independent filmmakers we know. Now we know better.
EXPENSES: We're not hiding all of the filmmaker's earnings in the never-ending loophole so fondly known as “expenses.” We want the independent filmmakers of the world to make a chunk of money. Our contract is straightforward, simple and requires little obligation. You will get paid from the first deal.
THE BOTTOM LINE: If the filmmaker isn’t happy, then we’re not happy. If the filmmaker wants out of the contract, we make it very easy for this to happen. We don’t want to hold a filmmaker who doesn’t want our representation. We’ve tried to take the sting out of signing away your film. We will simply do our best & if that isn’t good enough, then you’ll be free to go elsewhere. But, hopefully, we will all be ecstatic to work together, make lots of money & live happily ever after.
