Coverage of Isa’s (International Sales Agents) has resumed for The American Film Market. This segment follows leaders and innovation in the world of international film sales and distribution.
The UK based Devilworks is a boutique and genre based international sales company that was started by Matteo Rolleri and Samantha Richardson.
Devilworks mostly represents horror, thriller and science fiction genres. This new company is having great success with its new film “Time Lapse”, which has already received seven "best feature" awards on the international film circuit.
Matteo Rolleri shares his background and more about why he started Devilworks:
I have a background in production. I produced “Break My Fall”, by Kanchi Wichmann, which was picked up by Reel Suspects. Before that, I actually made a lot of short films and music videos. I’ve attended Cannes every year since the beginning of my film career, so I’ve been greatly influenced by the world of sales agents. Reel Suspects also introduced me to the sales aspect of things.
Why did you get into film sales?
I started to notice that most producers weren’t happy with sales companies, because they were not getting any money back from the sales. They didn’t have enough control of the film. They didn’t get enough feedback from the agents, or their films were packaged with other films that they didn’t find appropriate. This is why I decided to open Devilworks. Now we have seven films, and next year we are planning to acquire another five. Maintaining a boutique selection of titles will allow us to keep selling what we have at the moment and to introduce new titles without doing any packaging.
We are producer friendly, in the true meaning.
We launched the company last year at Berlin. The company is based in the UK, and the head office is in Malta. Before, I worked at Guildhall Pictures, which mainly focuses on drama films and production. I opened their sales division, and that gave me the passion to start my own company.
Please talk about the Devilworks slate.
We love genre films, but the storyline has to be really strong. There must be a story to tell. We have seven films. We’re excited about “Time Lapse”, which is a Sci-Fi/Thriller that has won many awards. It’s going really well, and it was launched at The Fantasia Film Festival this year. Its success has helped us to build even stronger relations with fantastic festivals and press around the globe.
It will be released in the U.S. next year. We sold it to Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Turkey. Italy will release it theatrically in February, and it will be released in South Korea and in Japan on the 3rd of December. ”Time Lapse” will be released on SkyMovies UK on the 14th of November, and will be shortly followed by a VOD release across United Kingdom, Ireland and Malta.
We just acquired a new thriller/horror called “The Perfect Husband”, which is the debut feature from writer/director Lucas Pavetto. We're excited because Pavetto has really tackled the thriller genre, and has created something invoking and fresh for horror lovers.
The film already won the Fantafestival in Rome for Best Debut Feature, and we just lunched the title at Afm with world rights. Explorer Entertainment will release it theatrically in Italy on December fourth.
What’s drives you in this work?
My background is artistic. I’m a poet and I used to be a hip-hop performer in Italy. I have always found myself putting people together to do creative projects, so film sales speaks to this part of me.
I work on the stories that I want people to see. I’ve been through the process of producing films, so I know how hard it is. I do this for the producers, to help them share their stories. It’s important, and really exciting. I also enjoy the creative side, the travel and the relationships we build with people around the world. The people make the difference in this business.
