Artisan Entertainment was a privately held independent American movie studio until it was bought by Lionsgate & Universal Studios in 2003.
Artisan Entertainment has thousands of films developed through original production and production and distribution agreements. These include Killing Zoe, National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, and The Blair Witch Project.
The company owned the home video rights to Republic Pictures, Carolco Pictures and Vestron. They also owned Family Home Entertainment (FHE), and FHE Pictures. Family Home Entertainment was founded by Noel C. Bloom in 1981.
Artisan Entertainment began in 1982 as USA Home Video, which included films such as Supergirl and Silent Night.
In 1986, the company became known as International Video Entertainment (IVE) and in 1987 IVE began to distribute films by Carolco Pictures on video.
Artisan Entertainment are made to seem as a independent, low budget company, but are in fact the subsidiary of a multi-national company; Lionsgate & Universal Studios. Some of their films however, have a much lower production values than others. For example, The Blair Witch Project was filmed by cast members who shot and captured all the footage and audio in 16mm or Hi-8 over the course of eight days.
