Stuff about Revolver E

1. Revolver Entertainment
Sarah Byard.

2. • Founded in 1997.
• Operations in London and Los Angeles.
• Revolver Entertainment is a company that distributes
films to the UK, but they also have Revolver
Entertainment US who distribute to the US
(shockingly).
• They are the fastest growing distribution company in
the UK.
• They have international reach, “groundbreaking”
directors and “world-class” films.
• They’ve won many awards.
• They consider themselves experts on youth
entertainment (although one of their clips involves
Danny Dyer, so I’m thinking their expertise isn’t as
great as they think).
• They had the first ever live action 3D release.

3. They work with loads of companies.
They get their films shown on/available to buy/rent from:
• iTunes
• Sky Box Office
• Sainsbury’s
• Wal-Mart
• Play.com (BOO PLAY.COM, BOO)
• Asda
• Blockbuster
• Amazon.com
• Vue Cinemas
• LoveFilm.com
• Cineworld
• Tesco
• Target (what even is Target?)
• The font’s getting too small to read but there’s loads.

4. They have a production arm.
• I’m guessing this means they produce films
also, not that they have an actual arm that
produces things.
• This means that they are vertically integrated.
• I think.
• In their highly pretentious video on their about
me page, they say they do:
finance, development, pre-
production, production and post production as
well as distribution.
• They also have 357 Records under their
“umbrella”, so they get their music.

organised a zombie walk around Leicester
Square.
