Independent international film sales, based in London. We represent bold, human-made cinema and we built the standard that lets the industry say so honestly.

The Agency

Independent. Selective. Worldwide.

We carry a small slate. Every title is chosen because it has something to say and a distinctive way of saying it — and because every creative decision in it was made by a person. We work with filmmakers from development through to delivery, managing international sales across all territories and rights.

Our relationships span buyers, distributors, festivals, and co-production partners across Europe, North America, and Asia. We attend the world’s major markets and manage rights across all territories from development through to delivery.

Human Provenance in Film

We built the standard.

HPF is a voluntary AI disclosure standard for the film and television industry — a three-category taxonomy organised around enhancement versus replacement of human creative work. Every film MSC represents is carried under it. Version 1.0 is in active consultation with the industry.
