Film Sales Agents represent filmmakers who are looking for distribution deals for their films, and who may be first time directors, or directors who work outside of studio productions.
Agents may agree to represent a film based on its script and proposal, but usually an unknown director can only acquire an Agent when they have a finished, or almost-completed, film. Film Sales Agents work with filmmakers to develop a strategy for marketing their films.
Once films are sold, Distributors and Agents negotiate the contracts and conditions. When deals have been finalized, Agents are responsible for delivering all the elements of the sold films, including a release print, the inter-negative and inter-positives, sound masters, the script, and various other items, including legal documents.
Is there a difference between a films sales agent and a theatrical agent? What agencies deal with filmmakers specifically?
