The Film Department is an independent movie finance, production and international sales company founded in June 2007 by former Warner Independent and Miramax president Mark Gill and former Yari Film Group COO and Miramax executive vice president Neil Sacker.
A $200 million capitalization (led by GE Capital) allows the company to fully finance and produce up to six films per year budgeted between $10 and $45 million. TFD makes star-driven, commercial pictures at the high end of every genre aimed at a worldwide audience (notably thrillers, romantic comedies, dramas, psychological thrillers and action films).
Gill is CEO of The Film Department, and Sacker is President & Chief Operating Officer, but the two are running the company as a partnership. They first worked together at Miramax in 1995. The company has 21 employees and is based in West Hollywood.
Allen & Company, a leading investment bank in the entertainment industry, helped close TFD's financing and is assisting the company in identifying and establishing financial, corporate and strategic partnerships designed to maximize the company's opportunities for growth.
