 PROFILE
"The Blair Witch Project" scared up some good mojo for Artisan Entertainment. The company distributes motion pictures, primarily independent fare such as the 1999 blockbuster "Blair Witch" and "Requiem For A Dream" (2000). The company has library of more than 6,700 films for the home video entertainment market and is expanding into DVDs and the Internet. The company was formed in 1997 when a group led by Bain Capital acquired home video distributor LIVE Entertainment. Artisan's majority shareholders are chairman Geoffrey Rehnert, formerly of Bain, through Audax Entertainment; and Alan Gordon, also a founder, through Richland, Gordon & Co. The firm shelved plans for an IPO and may be on the acquisition trail.
