BayView Entertainment and Summer Hill Films Enter into a North American Output Deal

POMPTON PLAINS, N.J. - EntSun -- BayView Entertainment LLC is excited to announce that it has entered into an output deal with Summer Hill Films. This agreement comes on the heels of BayView Entertainment's 2023 acquisitions of Passion River Films and Mutiny Pictures.

Launched in December of 2007 for the purpose of financing independent film production, Summer Hill Films was responsible for the release of numerous acclaimed titles into the theatrical, home video and streaming marketplace.

"Summer Hill's titles (both New Releases and Catalog) will be a crucial part of BayView's release strategy for the foreseeable future.
