Westlake Entertainment

Background: Westlake Entertainment Incorporated is a fully integrated, independent entertainment distribution company. Primarily engaged in licensing and distributing feature films and television programs, Westlake specializes in bringing new release content to retail. Westlake served as a distributor for the following labels: Rigel Entertainment, Lonely Seal Releasing, Red Bull USA (extreme sports), and Cineville Films. Westlake also sold its product to the overseas marketplace through its international arm, Cinema Management Group. Later on, after independent film company Cineville and DVD distributor Westlake Entertainment merged into an indie studio called Keystone, Westlake Entertainment sold its library of films to Osiris Entertainment, causing them to disappear.
