About EyeStorm

Eyestorm was born from a simple idea: that the exchange of creative rights should be as dynamic and borderless as the stories themselves.

Founded in Australia — a nation known for its bold storytellers — Eyestorm connects the country’s creative heart with a global marketplace. We bring together authors, agents, publishers, and media producers in one trusted space, where rights can be discovered, negotiated, and secured in real time.

Our mission is to open new pathways for Australian stories to travel the world — and to make global content more accessible to local audiences.

Ben James, founder of Eyestorm, has spent his career in Australian publishing - building relationships with authors, editors, and agents across Australia and around the world.

After decades navigating the complex web of deals and connections at the world’s major rights fairs, his vision was clear: a smarter, faster, digital marketplace where creative rights could move freely — without borders, barriers, or downtime.

Today, Eyestorm unites leading voices from publishing, film, television, and technology — a network driven by collaboration, transparency, and the belief that every great story deserves a global audience.
