History

In May 2019, Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman founded Quiver Distribution, a company focused on distributing films throughout the United States and Canada across existing and future platforms. [2] [3] The founders had rights to The Fanatic and Running with the Devil at the time of the company's formation. [2] In November 2019, Quiver formed a partnership with the newly formed Redbox Entertainment arm of Redbox to co-finance, co-produce and co-distribute films together, helping Redbox to move beyond its physical network of kiosks. [1]

In 2020, Quiver Entertainment was formed as a sister company to Quiver Distribution, with the remit to be the "distribution and rights management" arm of Quiver. [4]

In May 2020, the Quiver Entertainment arm of Quiver acquired the 1000 title library (not the complete library) of Kew Media Distribution following the demise of the firm's parent, Kew Media Group, in February 2020, beating out a group of about forty potential buyers. [4] [5]
