The Isa of the Day segment of SydneysBuzz resumes for the Cannes Film Festival 2015. ISAs, or International Sales Agents, help to bring films into global distribution by selling distribution rights to distributors worldwide.Topics include new trends in distribution and sales, inspirational success stories, film slates and more. A worthy read for any serious filmmaker looking to have a better understanding of the chain of business between producing a film and sharing it with the world.
Based in Los Angeles, Instrum International is a worldwide film sales and distribution company, dedicated to bringing high quality festival films to the marketplace. Its founder Ryan Keller represents the new generation of international film sales agents that is open to new talent and challenging films that don’t necessarily fit in the marketplace, and new forms of distribution and technology.
Founder Ryan Keller shares more:
I started Instrum International three years ago. I initially started working in sales at a company where I worked for several years. It was a start-up, so I wore many hats. I began working directly with filmmakers, and eventually just started doing it on my own through Instrum.
We started out doing a lot of independent festival films, and slowly started building up to more genre films. Our target is top-tier American independent festival films. For Cannes, I’m excited to share “Amira & Sam.” We also have “The Dramatics”, “The Midnight Swim,” “The Mend,” and Hardkor Disko, which has been doing really well on the festival circuit.
I like the relationships I get to develop here. It’s really cool to bring a film that you’ve found just from searching on the Internet, and to see the whole process from the marketing, distribution, and to finally see its release.
When I first started, we picked up a tiny film and they were having trouble getting sales agents. One of my vendors introduced us. We were just starting out and we helped them market it and sold it for twice their budget. We were able to develop a good relationship with these filmmakers and then helped raise financing on their last film, which we pre-sold. It’s been really cool to develop the relationship like that. Coming in early and helping them tailor their project to the market but also keeping their creativity and artistic control – that is something I aspire to do with all my future projects.
