Wrekin Hill Entertainment is an American independent film production and distribution company based in Los Angeles, California.[1]
History
In September 2010, it was announced that Chris Ball (who founded Newmarket Films in 1994) would leave the company to start a new distribution company.[2] This comes after Newmarket was acquired by Exclusive Media Group in 2009, though the company would release titles together.[3][4] Ball also brought two colleagues from Newmarket to the company.[5] Two months later in November, Lionsgate announced that entered an agreement with the company for DVD home entertainment distribution.[6]
Underhill Films
In March 2011, it was announced that Wrekin Hill launched a subsidiary label called Underhill Films (shown as Underhill Entertainmet on releases) and both will benefit from home entertainment distribution output deal with Lionsgate.[7]
