When and how should you include a sales agent in your film’s journey — and what difference can it make? From defining your film’s positioning and target audiences to selecting the optimal festival premiere, early collaboration with the right sales partner can elevate your film’s path—without compromising its core artistic identity.
Through a comparative case study of two films —  MILITANTROPOS (dir. TABOR Collective, Directors’ Fortnight ‘25) where Square Eyes got on board at an early stage, and COLLECTIVE MONOLOGUE where sales joined three months post-premiere—participants will gain insight into the practical impact of early planning.

Led by Wouter Jansen (Square Eyes), an acclaimed sales agent known for championing bold, auteur-driven cinema, this session offers actionable advice on finding the right sales partner and shaping a collaborative relationship that benefits both filmmaker and distributor.

Speaker: Wouter Jansen (The Netherlands/Austria), distributor, director of the distribution company Square Eyes
