Welcome to Sky Island Films-a new destination for specialized film distribution and marketing.
Sky Island Films was formed in June of 2003 with the express purpose of distributing specialized foreign language and American independent films that might not otherwise find their way to the US theatrical and ancillary markets.
Steve Fagan, president of the New York based Sky Island Films, has distributed films for such diverse companies as New World Pictures, Cannon Releasing, M.C.E.G. Distribution, MK2 Productions USA, Arrow Entertainment, and Artistic License Films during his career. Successful releases he has handled since 1978 include: THE TIN DRUM, BREAKER MORANT, ROCK & ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, FITZCARRALDO, BARFLY, RUNAWAY TRAIN, LA BELLE NOISEUSE, SOFIE, MY LIFE'S IN TURNAROUND, 301-302, BANDIT QUEEN, PONETTE, UNDER THE SKIN, AFTERLIFE, COTTON MARY, SOUND AND FURY, and THE TASTE OF OTHERS. Since 2001, Mr. Fagan has worked as an independent distribution and marketing consultant to independent film companies and producers. His corporate clients have included Artistic License Films, Regent Entertainment, Palm Pictures, Arthouse Films, Oceanside Pictures, Streetlight Films, Urbanworld Films, Manhattan Pictures International, Holedigger Studios, ADV Films, First Look Media, Regent Releasing, First Independent Pictures, Newmarket Films, Screen Media Ventures and Emerging Pictures. Specialized films that Mr. Fagan has been involved with in this capacity include-among others- AMERICAN ASTRONAUT, JAILS, HOSPITALS AND HIPHOP, PUNKS, KING OF THE JUNGLE, MARYAM, IVANS XTC, SWIMMING, ENIGMA, SECRET LIVES OF DENTISTS, PRINCESS BLADE, MADE UP, MY MOTHER LIKES WOMEN, ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE, MIND THE GAP, CHRYSTAL, EMMANUEL’S GIFT, THE DYING GAUL, BROOKLYN LOBSTER, NEW YORK DOLL, THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL, MINI’S FIRST TIME, AURORA BOREALIS, I TRUST YOU TO KILL ME, DEATH OF A PRESIDENT, GOD GREW TIRED OF US, EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN, MOVING MCALLISTER, CANVAS and WHAT WOULD JESUS BUY?
Most recently-on behalf of Emerging Pictures-Sky Island Films licensed John Sayles' HONEYDRIPPER to play in over 100 cinemas around the country.
And-this spring-Sky Island will be working with First Independent Pictures to bring the controversial-and Sundance Film Festival award winning film DARK MATTER-to screens in selected cities.
Sky Island Films will be seeking to acquire rights to high profile films such as those listed above and will strive to be a home to filmmakers who wish to retain their valuable ancillary rights. Sky Island will work with filmmakers to properly expose and market their films in the difficult-but crucial-first step of theatrical distribution.
