A French production company recently joined World Media Match with a clear objective: to find international partners for a documentary completed in 2026.
The project needed two different types of support: an international distributor capable of taking the film to foreign markets, and a US co-producer interested in developing its potential in North America.
After reviewing the documentary, its positioning and the producer’s objectives, World Media Match identified a targeted selection of companies whose activities closely matched the project.
Less than seven days later, the documentary had secured interest from both an international distributor and an American co-production partner.
The names involved remain behind the scenes for now, but the result is clear: a focused international strategy can move a project forward much faster than broad, untargeted outreach.
Reaching the right international partners
Finding an international co-producer or distributor is rarely just a question of contacting more companies. The real challenge is identifying the organisations that are genuinely looking for that type of project, at that specific stage of development.
World Media Match helps producers connect with:
- international co-producers;
- film and documentary distributors;
- sales agents;
- broadcasters and streaming platforms;
- development and financing partners.
WMM is not simply a contact database. Each project is reviewed individually so that producers can approach companies that match its genre, format, budget and international potential.
World Media Match operates through a subscription model and takes no commission on deals concluded between its members and their partners.
Its purpose is straightforward: to help audiovisual professionals save time, expand their international network and reach the people who can genuinely move their projects forward.
