With its day-to-day operations run by joint managing directors Mark Vennis and Gary Phillips, Moviehouse Entertainment is one of very few truly independent film sales companies operating in London, one of the World's biggest centres of film financing, production and sales outside Hollywood.

When forming Moviehouse Entertainment in 2001, Vennis and Phillips saw a trend developing in the market with the advent of new technology coupled with financial pressures in the film sector. This led to an opportunity to launch a sales company specifically geared towards handling films of high-quality and marketability.

Vennis, a fifteen-year veteran of the film industry is an MA graduate of film studies and responsible for bringing new films in to the company, dealing with producers and financiers in addition to overseeing the company's finances and associated activities. He also works closely with Finishing Post Productions, one of the UK's leading film servicing companies, to ensure satisfactory delivery to the company. Prior to forming Moviehouse Entertainment, Vennis worked in various capacities at Virgin Vision, J&M Entertainment and whilst at the latter, initiated and ran their Alternative Cinema Co. label where he garnered vast experience. Finally, he was a Director of Mansfield Associates, film financing experts.

Philllips, similarly with fifteen years in the independent film sales arena, guides all the company's sales, marketing and associated activities. These include attendance at all the major film markets in Berlin (the European Film Market), Cannes (Film Market) and Los Angeles (the American Film Market) as well as festivals where the company's films play. These include Sundance, Berlin, Locarno, Toronto and Edinburgh. Prior to forming Moviehouse Entertainment with Vennis, Phillips held a variety of senior sales-related positions at J&M Entertainment, Majestic Films & TV and prior to that in the Television Distribution business with The Samuel Goldwyn Company and Warner Bros International TV. In addition, Phillips works closely with Bryan Hambleton, Moviehouse Entertainment's consultant for TV sales. A 25-year veteran of the TV sales business, Hambleton also worked at Warner Bros International TV (with Phillips) and Orion Television International. Between them, Phillips and Hambleton attend the television sales markets in Cannes (MIP TV and MIPCOM) as well as NATPE, the primary US-based TV sales market.

Vennis and Phillips are additionally backed by a team of industry professionals in their respective areas. Claire Battersby is Director of Marketing & Publicity and works closely with Vennis and Phillips formulating sales strategy and campaigns as well as handling the company website and exploitation of its films via the festival circuit. Angie Walsh deals with the company's Business Affairs activities specifically relating to its distribution contracts and works with both Vennis and Phillips to ensure a seamless flow in terms of licensing, delivery and collections.
