Freestyle Digital Media is a fast-growing mulit-platform distributor located here in Century City. The company distributes a wide-range of independent films with various release patterns, ranging from straight VOD to limited theatricals and everything in between. Recent titles include THE RECALL (starring Wesley Snipes & R.J. Mitte), MILES (starring Molly Shannon, Missi Pyles & Stephen Root), and the critically acclaimed documentary SERVED LIKE A GIRL. We work closely with our sister company, Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures, a wide release theatrical distributor whose recent summer shark thriller, 47 METERS DOWN (starring Mandy Moore & Claire Holt), grossed over $43MM at the domestic box office.
