The Buyers Game: Indiewire's Guide to Acquisitions

Prior to the opening of the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival, indieWIRE published a list of film company buyers, the people who attend festivals scouting for projects that will fit their respective companies' distribution goals. The list is designed to give insight to indieWIRE readers, especially emerging filmmakers and producers, who may not be familiar with some of the people behind this fundamental aspect of the film business.
