Thursday 12 January 2012

Screen Australia has published a Directory of International Sales Agents, providing a snapshot of companies representing Australian feature films around the world. Download the directory.

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 sales agents have handled.

The directory was compiled through contact with sellers and information derived from Screen Australia’s market reports, forums and other activities throughout 2011.

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 has also produced a number of Marketing guides for Australian producers in response to market feedback, covering key art, photography and loglines. These guides are designed to support producers to deliver great materials: www.screenaustralia.gov.au/marketing/guides.aspx

Screen Australia plans to regularly update the Directory of International Sales Agents following key markets throughout the year.
