Drafthouse Films is an independent film distribution company based in Austin, Texas. It was founded in 2010 by Tim League, who had previously founded the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain. In its own words, Drafthouse produces "provocative, visionary and artfully unusual films",[1] several of which have become cult classics.[2]
History
Drafthouse films was founded in 2010 by Tim League as the in-house distribution arm of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.[3][4] The first film to be distributed by Drafthouse was Four Lions in 2010.[5] Like the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's brand, Drafthouse Films became associated with stylistically unique and sometimes bizarre films, some of which have become cult classics.[6]
In March 2022, it was announced that digital distributor Giant Pictures had acquired the Drafthouse Films label.[7] Nick Savva became the new Drafthouse Films CEO, with Tim League as chairman of the acquired company.[8] Drafthouse Films' first two acquisitions under its new management were Nr. 10, directed by Alex van Warmerdam, and Masking Threshold, a psychological horror pic from director Johannes Grenzfurthner.[9]
