production

LD Entertainment draws on decades of experience in entertainment to develop and produce feature films of the highest quality. Our philosophy is simple: great movies begin with great stories. On that basis, we have released and continue to develop a diverse slate of films across multiple genres, from platform to wide releases.

Unlike larger studios where leadership changes and financing gaps can often imperil a production’s prospects, once our executives commit to a project, we see it through from the first draft of a script to opening night. Our size and independence allow us to be flexible enough to ensure that we release a film at the very best time to reach its audience, not because of a predetermined annual schedule.

We enjoy working with veteran and emerging talent in front of and behind the camera, forming lasting relationships that continue long after our productions wrap.
