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.
