Edward Sylvan
Film Buyer. Media Executive.
CEO of Sycamore Entertainment Group.
Publisher, Film Buyer Magazine.
Edward Sylvan is a Canadian media executive and independent film distributor focused on film acquisition, theatrical and digital distribution, streaming, film finance, and creator-led entertainment. He is the CEO of Sycamore Entertainment Group and publisher of Film Buyer Magazine.
What I’m Working On Now. I am currently acquiring independent films for U.S. distribution, and documenting the business of buying, marketing, and releasing films. My work also explores how creators, audiences, and new financing models are changing the economics of independent entertainment.
Through Sycamore Entertainment Group, I have worked across film acquisition, distribution, streaming, and entertainment financing. My current focus is identifying independent films with strong audience potential and building practical release strategies across theatrical and digital platforms.
Film Buyer Magazine is my publication about the business of independent film acquisition and distribution. I write about what buyers look for, how distribution offers are structured, P&A, theatrical strategy, audience development, and the realities filmmakers face when taking a movie to market.
I document the process across Instagram and YouTube, including film markets, acquisition decisions, distribution strategy, and the changing relationship between creators, audiences, and the entertainment business.
Thank you for visiting.
