The core business of Atlantic Film Distributors is the acquisition and development of distribution rights to feature film projects by independent producers at appropriate budgets with potential for strong returns.
With a number of projects already completed or in production, the Group is building, in parallel, a niche position in the art house film distribution market, initially in the UK on a multi platform basis. Atlantic acquires and distributes niche content for readily identifiable markets and in particular, foreign language and independent English language film with a distribution emphasis on the rapidly expanding on-line video market.
