Visual Factory is endorsed by the MEDIA Program for European Sales Agents of the European Union. Visual Factory is also a member of Film Export UK and the European Film Export Association EFEA.

After having put several European co-productions together and having distributed our own movies in a large number of territories we decided to open the slate to independent filmmakers from around the world and especially European and British filmmakers.

We promote and license our producers' movies in major international markets such as AFM, Cannes, MIPTV, MIPCOM, MIFED, Berlin EFM, DISCOP... and connect them with our network of international distributors and TV channels.

We negotiate licensing contracts for the producers, collect and redistribute minima guaranteed (MG) and royalties.

We also promote our producers' films by touring festival premieres. Beyond the big ones (Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, Venice, San Sebastian, Locarno) each movie has a festival it can successfully premiere in. A good festival premiere will really launch an international campaign and feed the buzz around a movie.

Producers also benefit from our in house post production facilities (Avid, Shake, Maya, Combustion, 3D studio max).

Among our producers: Warner Bros Europe, Rai Cinema, and independents such as Keller Entertainment, Paradis, Avalanche Productions, AA Les films Belges, Aquarius etc...

SALES AGENT: We represent and have represented European movies with major cast attached (Monica Bellucci, Jean Reno, Francesca Neri, Terrence Howard, Matthew Modine, Laura Morante, Treat Williams, Daniel Auteuil, Christopher Lambert, Richard Bohringer, Jeremy Irons, Miki Manojlovic, Dita Von Teese, Paris Hilton, Simon Callow, Vivica Fox, Sylvester Stallone, Snoop Dogg ...) as well as independent European movies, mainly British, Italian and French, US independent movies and classics titles by star directors such as Dario Argento or Wes Craven
