Producers Sales Organization

Producers Sales Organization (PSO) was an independent motion picture production and sales company founded in 1977. Initiated by Mark Damon, an actor-turned-producer, PSO mostly handled foreign sales of independent films. It was initially was a partnership between Damon, producer Sandy Howard, and Richard St. Johns, who worked for Arthur Guinness Son & Co. At one point, it was a subsidiary of Guinness. In its final years of existence, PSO briefly became a full-fledged production company.

Despite releasing many successful films, PSO ran into financial problems and was forced into bankruptcy in 1986, effectively ending the company. Many of its employees were soon hired by Vestron Pictures to run a new foreign sales unit dubbed Producers Distribution Organization, later renamed Interaccess Film Distribution, Inc.

A year after PSO ended, Damon founded a new company, with Peter Guber and Jon Peters, called Vision International.

A majority of the PSO library would ultimately end up with Lionsgate, and then Mel Gibson and his Icon International company.
