Transmission Films is a Sydney based feature film acquisitions and distribution company. Joint Managing Directors Richard Payten and Andrew Mackie previously ran Dendy Films for six years before launching Transmission Films in partnership with Paramount.

Together, Transmission and Paramount collaborate on acquisitions, with Transmission overseeing the creative marketing and Paramount bringing their muscle and expertise to all stages of release. The strength of a major with the focus of an independent - truly the best of both worlds.
