History
The company was founded in London in 1991 as Intermedia Film Equities. Four years later, it was re-established as Intermedia Films by Guy East (formerly of Goldcrest Films and Majestic Films International) and Nigel Sinclair. By 1997, Intermedia began operations in Los Angeles, as did Pacifica Film Distribution. The two companies merged on March 29, 2000.
Its first success of note was Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, which opened the Sundance Film Festival. In 2003, the company began to scale back film production, and as a result, Basil Iwanyk had left Intermedia to form Thunder Road Films and took a lot of projects with them.
