8 records flagged as deal coverage could not be tied to IFC, a named project, a role and a transaction from their headlines; they are not counted here and are listed with sources under Unresolved.
Listed only when a headline names IFC, the project and IFC’s role. People are those the same headlines name. Newest first.
Names as they appear in sourced items; no contact data by design.
Grosses as reported — “via” badge = released by another studio.

One row per transaction; reports of the same transaction are merged under it. Dates are when ScreamWire first archived a report. Amounts appear only as the source phrased them.

ScreamWire’s classifier tagged these as deal coverage, but the headline does not establish IFC, a named project, IFC’s role and the transaction. They are excluded from every count on this page and kept, with their sources, for review.
Source. Assembled from ScreamWire's classified archive — 74 wire items (Feb 18 → Oct 13) matching IFC or a tracked alias, deduplicated by URL (1 cross-day re-sightings removed). Every entry links to the original reporting. Descriptive, never predictive.
Why no deal amounts. Only 1.8% of tracked deal items site-wide carry a reported figure — the trades rarely publish terms — so dollar amounts appear only as the source phrased them (e.g. “rich eight-figure deal”), never as comparable numbers. This is a deal-flow tracker, not a comps database.
What counts as a transaction. A row appears under Transactions, Slate or What they buy only when the publisher’s headline names IFC, names the project, and states IFC’s role in a transaction (bought, set up, developing, ordered, distributing, hired or cast for…). A company mentioned alongside a film is not enough, and neither is a classifier tag. Reports of the same transaction are merged; separate transactions on one project, such as a set-up and a later casting, stay separate. 8 deal-flagged records did not meet the test and are listed under Unresolved.
Source material and medium are recorded only when the headline states them; otherwise “not stated”. Dates are when ScreamWire first archived a report, so a resurfaced older story can carry a later date; reviewed exceptions are listed in the repository’s record-review file.
Grades are ScreamWire's editorial coverage grade — how strongly the wire covered the story — not a deal-quality score.
