The International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers (IQMPP) is a global peer network of production company owners.[1] In November 1966, Graeme Fraser, then vice-president of Crawley Films, was named as IQMPP's first president.[2][3] Membership includes more than 100 motion picture companies and individuals from countries world-wide.[4][5][6] IQMPP, with a membership representing six continents and more than 45 countries is the only globally wide organization of its kind.[6]

Background

IQMPP was founded in 1966 by North Carolina filmmaker Walter Klein in order to create an international association of filmmakers to exchange information and knowledge and pool production resources.[6] The "Standard Motion Picture Production Contract" was developed by IQMPP.[7]

Membership

By December 2010, IQMPP comprised more than 80 members in 45 countries spanning 6 continents. Members of IQMPP are, among others, Canada's Minds Eye Pictures, New Zealand's Omnicron Productions, Switzerland's Condor Films Ltd and Tribe Pictures in New Jersey. Current president is Vern Oakley.

Membership in the IQMPP is by invitation from only existing members.

Festival Activities

Each year at the US International Film and Video Festival, 'Best of Festival' (Grand Prix) awards are presented to an outstanding entry from among the Gold Camera winners in the main categories by members of IQMPP.[8] In 2004, IQMPP Member Robert James was member of the film jury at the Cannes Lions International Festival.[9][10]
