“We’re excited to bring transformational films to the market that not only entertain but also infuse hope into the audiences who experience them. We are passionate about bringing authentic stories that are powerful, uplifting, and catalysts for positive change,” said Fedyski.

“As we examine the theatrical marketplace today, we see a huge opportunity to provide full-service production distribution services to filmmakers who want to tell great stories that are commercially viable and appeal to mainstream audiences which are neither several hundred million dollars superhero movies nor small niche art films” added Rather, who also previously served an executive of Regal Entertainment.
