Pinefilm Entertainment Pty Ltd has been operating as an all rights film distributor in Australia and New Zealand since 1999. In 2006 it formed a strategic alliance with, and invested in and co-founded Horizon One Entertainment Pty Ltd - a dynamic film distribution and acquisition company now one of the largest packaged media content owners in Australia. Horizon One and Pinefilm have built strong strategic alliances and sub distribution agreements that will allow them to transition into other territories around the world.
Working closely with some of Hollywood’s most renowned companies, Pinefilm Entertainment uses executive expertise and a strong work ethic to develop its core strengths in acquiring, distributing, marketing, and sales and finance.
Pinefilm Entertainment Pty Ltd and Horizon One Entertainment Pty Ltd are examples of the evolution of business occasioned by dramatic changes in worldwide media and entertainment over the past 10 years. Whilst independent (as opposed to a traditional Hollywood Studio content production and distribution) Pinefilm and Horizon are co-dependent, remaining independent whilst utilising the worldwide and domestic infrastructure of studios as third part fulfillers.
The Merkin Group has a substantial shareholding in Horizon One Entertainment Pty Ltd and partner with the interests of Scott Clayton and Jeff Harrington and other key management to deliver solutions and services in the various business units.
Pinefilm Entertainment Pty Ltd owns and releases films as varied as those from renowned art house directors Emir Kustarica, Pedro Almadovar and Deepha Menta, through to the smash British hits “Maybe Baby” and “Saving Grace”, the Academy Award winning “Gods and Monsters” and the classic “Onegin”starring Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler.
