The company was founded in London in 1991 as Intermedia Film Equities.[1] Four years later, it was re-established as Intermedia Films by Guy East (formerly of Goldcrest Films and Majestic Films International) and Nigel Sinclair.[2] By 1997, Intermedia began operations in Los Angeles, as did Pacifica Film Distribution.[citation needed] The two companies merged on March 29, 2000.[3]
Its first success of note was Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, which opened the Sundance Film Festival.
