Greenwich Entertainment is currently active on the U.S. domestic theatrical acquisition circuit, most recently securing all rights excluding TV to the documentary "Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV," with a theatrical launch set for March 24 at New York's Film Forum. The company partnered on the release with American Masters Pictures, Films We Like (Canada), and Dogwoof (UK and international sales), reflecting its comfort operating within coordinated multi-territory distribution structures. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Over the past twelve months, Greenwich has demonstrated a clear and repeatable pattern: festival-launched titles with cultural or political weight, acquired at the arthouse end of the market. The slate includes Michel Franco's "Dreams," picked up after its Berlin launch; "The Friend's House Is Here," shot clandestinely in Iran and winner of the Sundance Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast; "Soul of a Nation," acquired in September 2025; and "Juniper," acquired in January 2023. Budget figures across all recent deals were not disclosed. The company tracks 23 decision makers across its acquisition and distribution operations, signaling an active and staffed pipeline.
Filmmakers and rights holders seeking U.S. theatrical distribution should approach Greenwich through established festival channels or via direct outreach to Ed Arentz, who was identified as the Greenwich negotiator on the Nam June Paik deal. The company has shown receptivity to projects already in conversation with international sales agents and co-distribution partners.

Does Greenwich Entertainment accept unsolicited scripts or film submissions?
Greenwich Entertainment operates as a distributor acquiring finished or near-finished films rather than developing scripts from the ground up. There is no public record of an open unsolicited submission portal. Projects are most likely to reach the company through festival premieres, international sales agents, or established industry intermediaries. The Nam June Paik deal, for instance, was negotiated through a network of co-distribution partners including Dogwoof and Films We Like, suggesting agent or sales-rep involvement is the standard entry point.
What budgets or deal sizes does Greenwich Entertainment work with?
Financial terms across Greenwich's recent acquisitions, including 'Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV,' 'Dreams,' 'The Friend's House Is Here,' 'Soul of a Nation,' and 'Juniper,' were not disclosed in available reporting. The company consistently acquires arthouse and documentary titles, which typically operate below mainstream studio budget thresholds, but no specific deal amounts or acquisition price ranges have been confirmed in the public record.
Which film festivals does Greenwich Entertainment source titles from?
Sundance and Berlin are both confirmed sourcing points based on recent acquisitions. 'The Friend's House Is Here' won a Sundance Special Jury Award for Ensemble Cast before Greenwich acquired it. Michel Franco's 'Dreams' was picked up after its Berlin launch. The Nam June Paik documentary also generated notable response at Sundance, according to the producing team. Greenwich's acquisition pattern suggests it actively monitors major international festival circuits for culturally resonant, politically charged titles.
How do you reach Greenwich Entertainment to pitch a film?
Ed Arentz is the Greenwich Entertainment representative identified in deal negotiations, specifically on the 'Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV' acquisition. He is the most clearly documented point of contact for acquisition discussions. The company also works closely with international sales agents and co-distribution partners, so approaching Greenwich through a sales agent already in conversation with the company is a viable pathway. Direct festival-circuit introductions appear to be the most common deal-initiation mechanism based on available records.
What genres and subject matter is Greenwich Entertainment acquiring right now?
Current acquisitions point to three overlapping content lanes: politically charged international drama (Michel Franco's 'Dreams'; 'The Friend's House Is Here,' shot clandestinely in Iran), culturally resonant documentary (the Nam June Paik film, 'Soul of a Nation'), and festival-circuit arthouse titles with social or historical weight. The company has shown no recent appetite for genre fare, horror, or mainstream commercial titles. Underground and clandestine cinema, particularly from politically restricted territories, appears to be an active area of interest.
Is Greenwich Entertainment currently active and acquiring new titles?
Yes. Greenwich Entertainment recorded 61 total activity signals in the past 12 months and logged a deal as recently as late May 2026, according to tracked data. The most recent confirmed acquisition is 'The Friend's House Is Here,' dated April 2026. The company tracks 23 decision makers, indicating a staffed and operational acquisition function. Activity over the past 90 days shows at least one confirmed deal, and the pipeline includes titles at various stages of U.S. theatrical rollout.
