Artist View Entertainment

What Artist View Entertainment does

Artist View Entertainment, Inc. is a privately held independent film distribution company founded in 1991 by President Scott J. Jones and headquartered at 5775 E. Los Angeles Ave., Suite 218, Simi Valley, California. The company specializes in acquiring distribution rights to feature films, documentaries, and TV programming, then licensing that content across all major media formats including theatrical release, home video, pay-per-view (PPV), free TV, cable TV, pay TV, and all forms of video-on-demand (VOD). Its catalog spans 250+ projects across all genres and budget ranges, with titles such as the AI-themed thriller 'The Great Reset,' the documentary series 'Fortress,' and the Joan Collins murder-mystery 'A Murder Between Friends.' The company occasionally functions as Executive Producer on its represented projects.

The firm serves independent filmmakers and production companies seeking global distribution, leveraging per-project licensing agreements negotiated with independent distributors and studios worldwide. Its go-to-market depends heavily on participation in major international film festivals and markets—including Berlin (EFM), MIP-TV, Cannes Film Festival, Toronto (TIFF), MIPCOM, American Film Market (AFM), FILMART, and NATPE—where it screens content to global buyers and secures distribution rights. Customer relationships are organized as channel partner/reseller/distributor deals for each project rather than enterprise SaaS-style contracting.

Revenue is generated through licensing fees on a per-project, per-territory, per-media-format basis (terms not publicly disclosed). The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, institutional investors, or external capital. Operations are run by a small core team including the President, a VP of International Distribution, a Director of Distribution Services, and sales/accounting support staff. Recent commercial activity includes a January 2026 North American transactional VOD distribution deal with Vision Films Inc. for 'A Murder Between Friends.' No technology platform, API, app, or proprietary software product is disclosed; the business is a content rights operation rather than a technology company.
