Directory of

INTERNATIONAL
SALES AGENTS
INTRODUCTION

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.

This directory of sales agents is in no way a recommendation or endorsement from Screen Australia. Producers should ask around before signing up with an
agent to be sure they have found the right sales partner and to check previous business dealings have gone smoothly for all parties before proceeding with
any deals. When appointing a sales agent, producers of commercially attractive titles are encouraged to negotiate for beneficial terms.

Screen Australia regularly updates this directory following key markets.

TOP TIPS FOR PRODUCERS
In December 2014, the sales agents in this directory were canvassed for their top tips for producers. Here’s what they had to say:
 Be social. Attend networking events, functions, co-production markets and
producer labs to get to know the international sales agents before you formally
request meetings. At social events, don’t go into hard pitch mode. Just try to make
a good impression.
 Know your audience. For every film, you should have a good understanding of
your target audience. This should inform every step of your development and
marketing from inception to exhibition, including your pitch and pitch materials.
 Ensure your project is ready to finance before arranging meetings. Sales agents
cannot evaluate projects if they are pitched too early. Make sure your package is in
its best shape before introducing it to sales agents. A market-ready and developed
script, director, producer, realistic potential cast, budget, viable finance plan,
timeline, target audience and hook should all be settled before you set up
meetings.
 Have a water-tight finance plan. Sales agents need to know that the business
points make sense before evaluating creative so make sure your budget is fully
prepared and you have a clearly presented finance plan. Understand your finance
plan especially in terms of realistic Gap vs Sales Agent Minimum Guarantee
requests. If you’re unsure seek advice from more experienced industry
professionals.
 Be a market expert. Research companies before you set up meetings – check the
trades from previous markets, find out their latest acquisitions and sales activity,
and also watch their movies. Contact other producers who have had films with the
sales agents for advice and feedback on their experiences.
 Know what you want from the meeting. Establish what you are looking for before
you set up the meeting and be clear about the next steps for each party before
leaving the meeting.
 Set up meetings well in advance. Reach out two or three weeks prior to major
markets to set up meetings with sales agents that suit your film.
 Show interest in their company. When you meet the sales agents display interest
in their company and knowledge of their slate and recent activities. Be able to
explain why that sales agent is right for your film and vice versa.
Directory of International Sales Agents March 2020
 Limit the number of projects you pitch per meeting. Prioritise the project that
best fits the sales agent – pitch only one or two projects from your slate.
 The elevator pitch works! Be succinct, you don’t need to explain every scene. With
a good catch line and short synopsis you can grab attention and entice the agent
into reading the script. Know what is distinctive about your film. This could be the
concept, story, cast, director – your sales agent needs to see how and why the film
will find its target audience.
 Be on point when pitching. If you have a great pitch reel, lead with that. Bring
printed materials with strong visuals that display an understanding of your
audience. Bring a pitch summary with short synopsis, cast and crew, and finance
information. If you’re a first-time feature making team, award-winning short films
will help boost the sales agent’s confidence in your abilities. Create a standout first
impression of your team’s work through high-quality materials – remember you
are competing on an international scale in a crowded market.
 Be passionate! It is infectious.
 When citing comparable titles, be realistic and clear. Are you citing the comps as
commercially successful examples or for creative reasons? Have an idea of the
commercial success of those films. If citing as an example of the returns your film
might achieve, are the film budgets and level of cast and director a fair
comparison? When talking about potential cast, be realistic.
 Be open to feedback and contribution. If the sales agent has creative or business
suggestions: be open to them. They should feel like it will be their movie too if they
become involved.
 Strike while the iron is hot. Be timely and considerate with your follow up after
the meeting. Don’t let weeks go by without contact. Polite persistence is
appreciated as are updates on developments on cast, finance and other
attachments of note. If you can, call instead of emailing, it is more personable. It
takes time to commit and contract the deal so be aware and ahead of your
deadlines. If your situation changes and you find better synergy with another sales
agent, inform those you have met and advise your reasons so lines of
communication are left open for future collaborations.
