(Indie Film Market information at the bottom of this page)
Updated: February 2004
The following is a list of production companies owned by actors. We urge you NOT to contact them except with a query letter (see Sample Query letter on this website). We honestly don't know whether or not they deal with unagented writers or if they're looking for only material that they can appear in. We'll be adding to this list once a month. If you find an error in any of the information posted on this page, we'd appreciate it if you'd let us know. Note what I've said about temporary addresses elsewhere on this site. Good luck to you.

Rosemary Street Productions believes in independent film making enough to invest $17 million new capital for Overseas Film Group. This is in additon to $40 million granted them from Chase Securities, on a five-year credit line. Overseas Film Group is the parent company of independent production company, FIRST LOOK PICTURES. Sundance acquired their film "The Opportunists", starring Christopher Walken, and Michael Apted ("Coal Miner's Daughter") directed their feature length documentary, "Me & Isaac Newton". Which goes to show that independent pictures can find success at Sundance ("Spitfire Grill" sold for a record $22 million only a few years back. The film was financed by Catholic Charities) and can attract name actors such as Walken.
nWAVE's 1999 "Alien Adventure" took in $3.27 million in 2000. Their "Encounter in the Third Dimension" has grossed $8.8 million (it was also released in the year 2000).
