Yari Film Group

Background
Yari Film Group Releasing was a Los Angeles-based movie company started in 2005, when Bob Yari consolidated his film banners (namely Bull's Eye Entertainment, El Camino Pictures, and Bob Yari Productions) into one brand. In December 2008, the company's distribution platform filed for bankruptcy, though the company still exists, with them producing two more movies, Guns, Girls and Gambling and Papa: Hemingway in Cuba, since then. The rights to a majority of their films have been licensed to Moonstone Entertainment, with FilmRise owning the streaming rights to them.
