The company works with independent producers, filmmakers and television networks to curate content for many types of distribution platforms, including digital, cable, video on demand, Blu-ray, DVD, and theatrical releases.

History

In 2011, New Video partnered with China Lion to distribute Chinese-language films across North America via various platforms. New Video was named as the exclusive aggregation partner to digital platforms for the Sundance Institute's Artist Services Initiative.

Co-presidents of New Video, Susan Margolin and Steve Savage, received the 2011 Digital 25 Award by the Producers Guild of America and Variety. The award recognizes individuals who have contributed to the advancement of digital entertainment and storytelling.

New Video was purchased by Cinedigm in early 2012.

In 2013, Cinedigm (now Cineverse) purchased Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment $51.5M, and became the successor to GoodTimes Entertainment.
