Good Machine International (GMI) is a full service worldwide motion picture sales company that was founded in August of 1997 by David Linde, who joined Good Machine as a partner in January of that year. Good Machine International is a wholly owned subsidiary of Good Machine. While the two work closely and share executive management, they are not exclusive to each other.

Sparked by the same respect for filmmakers as its production counterpart, GMI broadens its filmmakers's resources by drawing from the worldwide financial community. Through the acquisition and sale of films, not exclusively Good Machine titles, GMI has expanded the capabilities of its parent company.

GMI shares the same philosophy as Good Machine: great filmmaking is good business. This year, GMI premiered three new films in the 2001 Cannes Film Festival: Todd Solondz's Storytelling with New Line Cinema / Fine Line Features (Official Selection - Un Certain Regard); Joel and Ethan Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There with USA Films (Official Selection - In Competition - co-winner, Best Director); and Michel Gondry's Human Nature with Fine Line Features, for which GMI sold U.S. rights (Official Selection - Out of Competition).

Last year GMI also premiered three films in the 2000 Cannes Film Festival: Ang Lee's Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon which GMI co-financed with Sony Pictures Asia; Lars Von Trier's Palm d'Or Winner Dancer In The Dark (representing English language territories) and Kristian Levring's The King Is Alive, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival.

GMI is currently handling overseas sales on Pedro Almodovar's Hable Con Ella!, Spike Jonze's Adaptation with Intermedia, Oliver Parker's The Importance of Being Earnest; Robert Harmon's They with Radar Pictures; Sun Zhou's Zhou Yu's Train; Gregor Jordan's Buffalo Soldiers with FilmFour; Ed Burns's Ash Wednesday; Todd Solondz's Storytelling with New Line Cinema; Joel and Ethan Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There with USA Films; and Alfonso Cuaron's Y Tu Mama Tambien. Previous films include Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Dan Minahan's Series 7 with USA Films; Lars Von Trier's Palm d'Or Winner Dancer In The Dark, which Good Machine associate produced, while GMI handled sales in all English language territories; and Ronny Yu's Bride of Chucky.

In 1998, GMI began acquiring films separately from Good Machine-produced films, with Joan Chen's directorial debut Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl, which premiered in competition at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival. GMI also acquired David Kane's This Year's Love and director Ed Thomas' Rancid Aluminum, which stars Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill) and Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love) both from Entertainment Film Distributors in the U.K; and the highly-acclaimed Spanish film Butterfly's Tongue, which premiered at the 1999 San Sebastian Film Festival and screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival, and was released in June 2000 in the U.S. by Miramax Films. The 1998 acquisition of Universal's Bride of Chucky, which GMI picked up immediately prior to MIFED 1998, sold to over 40 countries for theatrical release.

In September 1997, GMI was named the exclusive foreign sales agent for October Films (now USA Films). In its first year of existence, GMI handled the international sales for such films as Lee's Ride With The Devil, Todd Solondz's Happiness, Tony Bui's Three Seasons, Jim Jarmusch's Year of the Horse and Robert Duvall's The Apostle. Since then, GMI has handled USA titles such as Dan Minahan's Series 7; Harald Zwart's One Night at McCool's; Albert Brook's The Muse, Anjelica Huston's Agnes Browne, James Moll's The Last Days; and Stanley Tucci's Joe Gould's Secret as well as working separately on films with Universal Pictures, New Line Cinema, Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Classics, Miramax Films and Fine Line Features, among others.

In three years of existence, GMI maintains ongoing relationships with the leading distributors overseas, including Entertainment Film Distributors, FilmFour and Pathe Distribution in the U.K., BAC Films and Diaphana Distribution in France, Kinowelt Filmverleih, Constantin Films and Tobis Filmkunst in Germany, Filmauro, Mikado and B.I.M. in Italy, Lauren Films and Filmax in Spain, JVC/Victor, GAGA, Asmik Ace and Nippon Herald in Japan, Roadshow Film Distributors and REP/Dendy in Australia, Nordisk Film, Scanbox and Sandrew Metronome in Scandinavia, Ster-Kinekor in South Africa, Spring Cinemas in Taiwan, Shaw Renters in Singapore, Intercom in Hungary, and many more.

Most recently, GMI has signed on as the exclusive foreign sales agent for Radar Pictures, which was launched last fall by former Interscope Communications principals Ted Field and Scott Kroopf. During its nearly 20-year history, Interscope produced more than 50 movies, including Runaway Bride, Jumanji, Pitch Black, Mr. Holland's Opus, Three Men and a Baby, and The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.
