ABOUT
Viewfinder offers executive producer advisory services to producers and rights-holders in film and television.
OUR WORK
We work closely with our clients to devise the appropriate financing and distribution strategies for their projects, using our knowledge of the market place to formulate finance plans, recommend and approach suitable financiers, and close the necessary deals to take these projects to financial green-light.
Viewfinder is a trading name of Wiggin LLP, and has been established to expand Wiggin's well-established executive producing history, which has been responsible for raising finance for the feature films The Lady In the Van, Dad's Army, The Children Act, The Eagle, The History Boys, Venus and Walking With Dinosaurs, amongst others.
We are immensely proud of the role we played recently in supporting the realisation of Florian Zeller’s powerful film, The Father, starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, which has been nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
WORKING TOGETHER
We tailor our services to fit the detailed requirements of each project, and therefore the number of projects that we can take on is necessarily limited. Although Viewfinder part of Wiggin, it is not a condition of engagement that Wiggin provides legal services on the projects on which we work.
