GFM Films

GFM Films is an independent film development, production, financing and international sales company established in London in March 2011. Also operating internationally as GFM Film Sales, it works on commercial, auteur-led and genre independent feature films, with a particular focus on live-action thrillers, dramas and action titles.

The company combines project development and production with financing and distribution sales. Its activities include packaging projects, structuring co-productions, arranging territory pre-sales and licensing international distribution rights. It serves theatrical, streaming, video-on-demand and television markets worldwide, connecting independent productions with buyers across different territories.

Production and international sales

GFM Films supports feature films and series through development, financing, production and market representation. Its sales work includes worldwide distribution sales, theatrical sales and executive production, alongside marketing and festival representation. This combination places the company across both the development of independent projects and their commercial presentation to international distributors.

Its reported live-action work spans action thrillers, political drama, science-fiction comedy and crime comedy-drama. The company’s role varies by project, reflecting its combination of production, financing and sales activities rather than a single production discipline.

Company development

The business originally conducted sales and development through GFM Films LLP. Live-action sales operations subsequently continued under GFM Film Sales Limited, the current operating company. Its administrative base moved from Fulham to Surbiton in 2021.

The principals also established a dedicated animation production and sales arm in November 2016, which was later incorporated separately. That development extended their activities into independent family animation while GFM Films retained its live-action focus.
