About Us
We are leading consulting firm specialising in identifying and helping clients secure material for film and television adaptation. We work with producers, studios, networks, actors and directors to navigate the landscape of media rights and the worlds of book publishing, journalism, podcasting, comic books and theatre. Our clients include major studios, Oscar and BAFTA winning producers, and A-list talent.
We Are Global
With offices in Los Angeles, New York, and London, we are on the ground in the major creative and deal making centers for film, television, and publishing, allowing us to bring global reach and perspective to our clients no matter where they are.
We are Experts
There’s no one better or more experienced than our team at navigating the complex landscape of media rights and relationships. Between us, we have experience with every major Hollywood studio and agency, the major commissioners and channels across the UK, and many of the same in Europe and Asia. Books and other material we’ve helped secure for our clients have gone on to become award winning films and TV shows.
We Are Adaptable
At Adaptable we are always reading, and we have internal experts in a variety of genres and in a range of languages. We love talking about books, and finding great homes for material. We love matchmaking the right material with the right clients, and helping clients build slates that will allow them to stand out.
