With a foundation in storytelling and more than two decades of experience across theatre, film, and television, GM Films works with filmmakers, writers, actors, producers, and creative partners to develop projects from concept through production and into distribution. The company’s focus is on commercially viable, creatively driven content with the potential to reach audiences in the United States and international markets.
In addition to production, GM Films is involved in film sales and distribution, helping independent filmmakers and producers navigate the increasingly global entertainment marketplace. The company seeks to create opportunities for independent projects by connecting quality content with audiences, buyers, distributors, and strategic partners.
GM Films is also the founder of Cinesomnia, an independent film streaming platform and film marketplace designed to create a direct connection between filmmakers, audiences, and the entertainment industry.
Cinesomnia combines streaming with a marketplace model, providing a platform for independent filmmakers to showcase and monetize their work while creating opportunities for buyers, distributors, and industry professionals to discover new films and projects.
GM Films is built around a simple idea: great stories deserve an opportunity to be seen.
We believe independent filmmaking is an essential part of the global entertainment industry. Our goal is to develop and produce compelling original content, support independent creators, and build innovative pathways for films and television projects to reach audiences and industry partners.
Through GM Films, Cinesomnia, production, sales, distribution, and marketplace initiatives, we continue to build a creative ecosystem that connects storytellers, content, audiences, and the business of film.
