Goodfellas
Goodfellas is an international sales agent positioning prestige genre and auteur-driven features across worldwide territories, with active slate launches at Cannes 2026 and a dedicated genre label via its Wild West joint venture with Capricci.
Current mandate
Goodfellas is actively seeking and representing prestige genre films (sci-fi, horror, thriller) from distinctive auteur directors, literary IP adaptations with high-concept premises, and festival-circuit titles with strong international appeal. The company handles world sales rights across all major international territories, with US rights managed in coordination with CAA Media Finance and Range Select. This dual-track positioning allows Goodfellas to operate across both the arthouse festival circuit and the commercial genre market simultaneously.
Recent representation confirms the breadth of that mandate. Goodfellas has acquired world sales rights for Emilio Estevez's The Way: Chapter 2, a talent-driven English-language feature. The company is also launching international sales on K'naan Warsame's feature directorial debut Mother, Mother from Republic Pictures, Laura Carriera's debut feature On Falling, and Eric Khoo's Spirit World, for which ARP Sélection has pre-bought French rights. Additional active titles include Berlinale Golden Bear contender Langue Etrangère, Qiu Yang's drama Some Rain Must Fall, English-language titles The Price Of Money and Inside, and French-language titles The French Job, The Flood, and Oxana. The genre-focused Wild West label, a joint venture with Capricci, is rolling out Giovanni Aloi's crime thriller Hunting Ground, following earlier Wild West titles Vincent Must Die and The Swarm.
Sellers and producers seeking representation should approach Goodfellas with completed or near-completed auteur genre features, debut or early-career directors with festival pedigree, and literary adaptations carrying recognizable IP. The company's co-financing agreement with Wild Bunch Group, announced in March 2023, signals openness to development and production participation on select projects, providing an additional entry point for earlier-stage material.

- Access pattern
- Goodfellas is best approached through its 12 tracked decision makers via direct submission or festival market meetings, particularly at Cannes and Berlinale. For English-language projects, CAA Media Finance and Range Select serve as co-access points on US rights. Genre-specific projects may be routed through the Wild West label in coordination with Capricci. Earlier-stage projects with development potential may be considered under the co-financing framework established with Wild Bunch Group in March 2023.
- Deal structure
- Goodfellas operates primarily as a world sales agent, acquiring world sales rights and selling territory-by-territory to local distributors. Confirmed deal structures include straight acquisition of world sales rights (The Way: Chapter 2), territory pre-sales ahead of delivery (ARP Sélection on Spirit World), and co-financing participation agreements (Wild Bunch Group). US rights are handled in coordination with CAA Media Finance and Range Select rather than sold directly. Budget terms are not publicly disclosed on individual titles.

Which markets does Goodfellas attend and sell at?
Goodfellas is active at major international film markets. Current intelligence places the company launching and unveiling multiple titles at Cannes 2026, where prestige genre (sci-fi and horror from auteur directors) is reportedly gaining market traction. The company's slate includes Berlinale-connected titles such as Langue Etrangère, confirming Berlin as another key market. Its multi-territory slate spanning Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa suggests regular attendance at EFM, Cannes Marché, and AFM.
How do you reach Goodfellas to submit a film for representation?
Goodfellas has 12 decision makers currently tracked in the ScriptMatch system, providing multiple points of contact. For English-language titles, the company's coordination with CAA Media Finance and Range Select on US rights suggests those relationships may serve as an introduction pathway.

The co-financing agreement with Wild Bunch Group also indicates openness to earlier-stage submissions on select projects.
What are Goodfellas' strongest territories for international sales?
France is confirmed as an active buying territory, with ARP Sélection pre-buying French rights to Spirit World and Ad Vitam Distribution acquiring Girl for France. Italy is also confirmed, with I Wonder Pictures acquiring Girl for that market. Goodfellas' broader slate spans Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, according to reporter analysis, positioning the company as a genuinely multi-regional seller rather than one concentrated in a single territory bloc.
