How to Find the Submissions Department at Columbia Pictures

Columbia Pictures is one of the most recognizable names in the movie business. Distributing approximately 20 movies per year, Columbia Tristar Motion Picture Group -- a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment -- also specializes in script development, film acquisitions and production. Finding the submissions department at Columbia Pictures depends on what type of product you are submitting. A finished screenplay is handled by a different department than a finished movie. Be sure you submit to the right department to increase your odds of success.
