The Match Factory

The Match Factory is actively handling international rights on a Venice Competition title with pre-sales already closed across more than a dozen territories.

Current mandate

The Match Factory is currently representing international rights for "Projecto Global," a Venice Film Festival Competition title presented by Mubi, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, and Fremantle's The Apartment Company, in association with Badjetlag, CG Cinema, Cinema Inutile, Films du Losange, and Weltkino. The film has already sold to multiple territories ahead of its world premiere, with Mubi acquiring all rights across North America, Latin America, the U.K., Ireland, Benelux, Turkey, and India. Additional territorial deals have been confirmed with Lucky Red (Italy), Avalon Distribucion Audiovisual (Spain), Nos Lusomundo (Portugal), Cinobo (Greece), Gutek Film (Poland), Cirko Films (Hungary), Bad Unicorn (Romania), MCF MegaCom Film (Former Yugoslavia), Aerofilms (Czech Republic and Slovakia), Front Row Filmed Entertainment (Middle East and North Africa), Andamiro Films (South Korea), and Edko Films (Hong Kong). Cinéart is handling Benelux theatrical release in collaboration with Mubi.

Recent representation reflects The Match Factory's positioning across arthouse and festival-circuit titles with strong institutional co-production backing. "Projecto Global" carries financing from Screen Ireland, with co-production by Hail Mary Pictures in Ireland, and lending from Cofiloisirs and Three Point Capital. The breadth of pre-sales across Europe, Asia, and MENA ahead of Venice premiere signals the company's continued ability to close territory deals at the pre-sales stage on competition-level material.

Sellers and producers seeking representation for festival-positioned arthouse features should approach The Match Factory through its tracked decision-maker network, which currently spans 31 contacts. The company's activity record shows 32 tracked signals over the past 12 months, with the latest signal logged in June 2026.

Access pattern
ScriptMatch tracks 31 decision makers at The Match Factory. The latest recorded signal dates to June 2026. Given the company's current focus on the Venice Competition campaign for "Projecto Global," outreach timed to major festival markets (Venice, Toronto, AFM) is likely to be most effective. Producers should lead with festival pedigree, institutional co-production credentials, and arthouse positioning when approaching the company for representation consideration.
Deal structure
The Match Factory operates as an international sales agent, licensing territorial rights to local distributors on a title-by-title basis. On "Projecto Global," the structure includes a major multi-territory all-rights acquisition by Mubi alongside individual output deals with territorial distributors across Europe, Asia, and MENA. Co-production financing (Screen Ireland) and third-party lending (Cofiloisirs, Three Point Capital) are part of the underlying production structure the company works within. Pre-sales ahead of festival premiere are a documented part of the company's deal-making approach.
