CAVU PICTURES
We are filmmakers. We have the expertise that allows us to complete nearly finished films before they appear on our competitor's radar. We chase down, acquire and distribute relevant, provocative, sharply written films, crafted by directors who are as compelling as their work - Part of a brand building strategy that includes making stars of our filmmakers and shaping a loyal ensemble of actors, directors and writers who will come back to CAVU again and again to develop and distribute their work.
CAVU Pictures, Inc. (CAVU) is an early-stage independent film production and distribution company. We are one of a very few "new model" independent production companies with worldwide distribution capabilities. CAVU's integration of production and distribution expertise is unique and places the Company in an exceptional position for continued growth.
The Company was founded in 2001 by Emmy Award ™ winning director and writer Michael Sergio and producer Isil Bagdadi. Formed initially as an independent production company, CAVU has grown to include a worldwide distribution initiative, CAVU Releasing, LLC. The Company is headquartered in New York City.
CAVU Pictures, Inc. produces films through its own in-house development and production arm. CAVU Releasing, LLC acquires new films (or enters into Service Deals) for theatrical release and distribution to all domestic and foreign markets.
CAVU has six (6) films in worldwide ancillary release “Take Out”, “The Dukes”, “The Real Dirt on Farmer John”, Trailer Park Boys”, “The Holy Land” and “Under Hellgate Bridge”.
CAVU has four (4) properties in development, “To Die In Ireland”, Cinderella Nights”, “Dumb Luck”, and “Bottom Of The 9th” and is in preproduction on Richard Vetere’s “Baby Blue”.
CAVU Releasing enjoys a growing reputation within the independent film community for deftly distributing critically acclaimed films and for innovative marketing and distribution strategies. Our growing reputation and our ability to "finish" and distribute films has made us an attractive outlet for filmmakers.
MORE ABOUT CAVU
CAVU’s ability to release a film on both a wide release and specialized release basis is due to strategic relationships with art-house exhibitors and nationwide chains like Regal (NYSE: RGE), Landmark, Loews, National Amusements and AMC (AMEX: AEN). Our films enjoy major market penetration, market diversity and quality exhibition facilities not always available to other indie distributors.
During its release of “The Holy Land”
IndieWIRE ranked CAVU the #1 specialty distributor in the U.S
