Every year to coincide with the world famous Cannes Film Festival, Fintage House and Akin Gump organise the Jorge Gallegos Memorial Trophy, Annual Boules Tournament. This prestigious event combines the sport of pétanque with a relaxed and informal cocktail party and is attended by the who’s who of the film and television world.

All proceeds from the Boules event directly benefit humanitarian organisation, FilmAid international.[12]

In 2013 Fintage House signed a deal with IIP, the creators of FUGA, to create a new online platform for rights-holders.

In a traditionally slow and convoluted part of the business, this new platform will put the information at the client’s fingertips.[13]
