“With the industry undergoing shifts in viewing habits on an almost weekly basis, I feel it is important to have our titles in the hands of an independent distributor who can give them the maximum exposure,” said Summer Hill’s CEO Ted Chalmers in a statement. “I’m more than pleased that Bayview will be adding our titles to their extensive offerings.”
“This agreement adds more strength to our current catalog offerings by adding over 200 new films,” said Peter Castro, BayView’s VP of acquisitions and business development, in a statement. “Summer Hill’s titles (both new releases and catalog) will be a crucial part of BayView’s release strategy for the foreseeable future. We are honored to welcome both Ted and Summer Hill Films to the Bayview family and dedicated and excited to make Summer Hill’s titles successful within the expanding BayView catalog.”
The agreement comes on the heels of BayView Entertainment’s 2023 acquisitions of Passion River Films and Mutiny Pictures.
