Goodfellas
Goodfellas is an international sales agent actively building a multilingual slate of arthouse and genre titles, with world sales rights across English-language, European, Latin American, Asian, and African productions.
Current mandate
Goodfellas is currently positioned as a broad-reach international sales company with a dual mandate: arthouse and auteur-driven features on one side, and genre titles on the other. The company holds world sales rights for Emilio Estevez's The Way: Chapter 2 and is launching international sales on K'naan Warsame's feature directorial debut Mother, Mother from Republic Pictures, as well as Laura Carriera's debut feature On Falling. Eric Khoo's Spirit World is also on the slate, with ARP Sélection already pre-buying French rights. The company is additionally working Berlinale Golden Bear contender Langue Etrangère and Qiu Yang's drama Some Rain Must Fall, alongside English-language titles The Price Of Money and Inside, and French-language titles The French Job, The Flood, and Oxana.
On the genre side, Goodfellas operates Wild West, a joint venture with Capricci focused on genre cinema. The venture is currently rolling out Giovanni Aloi's crime thriller Hunting Ground, following earlier Wild West titles Vincent Must Die and The Swarm. A co-financing agreement with Wild Bunch Group, announced in March 2023, covers development, production, and participation on select new projects, further extending the company's upstream reach.
Sellers and producers seeking international representation should approach Goodfellas directly through its acquisitions and sales team. The company's active market presence, including AFM, makes festival and market meetings a primary access point. Recent territorial deals, such as Ad Vitam Distribution for France and I Wonder Pictures for Italy on Girl, illustrate the company's established relationships with key European distributors.
