XYZ Films

XYZ Films is actively co-financing and handling global sales on elevated genre projects, with production now underway on its latest supernatural horror title.

Current mandate

XYZ Films is currently in production on BANQUET, the new supernatural horror film from director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, which it is co-financing alongside Project Infinity and handling global sales on at AFM. CAA Media Finance and WME Independent are co-repping U.S. rights alongside XYZ, signaling a deliberate emphasis on packaging U.S. distribution and financing through major agency partners. The project features a cast mixing breakout talent and prestige actors from high-profile series and films, including Corey Mylchreest, Alfie Williams, Finbar Lynch, Olwen Fouere, and Meghann Fahy.

Over the past 12 months, XYZ has maintained a consistent focus on genre titles, with a slate that includes HAVOC, SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, OVER YOUR DEAD BODY, THE EDGE OF NORMAL, HALLOW ROAD, IN COLD LIGHT, and THE RITUAL. The company operates as both financier and international sales agent on its projects, a dual role that shapes how it structures deals and selects talent. Its co-financing partnership with Project Infinity on BANQUET follows a pattern seen across elevated genre productions where multiple financing parties share risk on projects with notable casting.

Filmmakers and rights holders seeking XYZ's attention are best positioned through established agency relationships, given the company's documented co-representation arrangements with CAA Media Finance and WME Independent. Direct outreach to the 44 tracked decision makers within the organization remains a secondary pathway, most effective when a project already carries genre credentials and attachments that align with XYZ's demonstrated slate priorities.

Common questions about XYZ Films

Does XYZ Films accept unsolicited scripts?

Based on available intelligence, XYZ Films does not appear to operate an open submissions pipeline. The company's documented deal activity on projects like BANQUET involves structured co-financing arrangements and agency co-representation through CAA Media Finance and WME Independent. Writers submitting without representation are unlikely to gain traction; projects with existing agency packaging are the clear preferred entry point.

What budgets does XYZ Films typically work with?

No specific budget figures are cited in available coverage of XYZ Films. However, the company's slate, which includes titles such as HAVOC, THE RITUAL, and the in-production BANQUET, alongside its co-financing model with partners like Project Infinity, suggests a focus on mid-range elevated genre productions rather than micro-budget or studio-scale projects. Budget specifics would need to be confirmed directly with the company or its agency partners.

Does XYZ Films acquire titles at film festivals?

XYZ Films is documented as handling global sales at AFM (American Film Market) on BANQUET, indicating active market participation. While no specific festival acquisition deals are cited in recent coverage, the company's international sales agent role and genre-focused slate make market events a likely venue for deal activity.

CAA Media Finance and WME Independent are co-repping U.S. rights alongside XYZ on BANQUET, suggesting that agency-packaged projects receive priority attention. XYZ has 44 decision makers tracked within its organization, but direct outreach is most effective when a project already carries genre credentials and relevant talent attachments.

XYZ Films is currently focused on genre, specifically supernatural horror and elevated thriller material. Its in-production title BANQUET is a supernatural horror film from director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia. Its broader recent slate includes OVER YOUR DEAD BODY, THE RITUAL, HALLOW ROAD, and IN COLD LIGHT, all genre titles.
