About
Company History
Reynolds Entertainment was originally formed as Channing Films in 1996 by Kelley Feldsott-Reynolds and Simon Channing-Williams, who has produced the films by acclaimed British director, Mike Leigh, including "Secrets & Lies," which garnered a 1996 Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. The company's objective was, and continues to be, the production of high quality, reasonably budgeted independent feature films with international appeal. The company initially began developing motion picture projects in the $2 to $3 million range, and also collaborated on projects for network and cable television.
In 1999, Patrick Reynolds replaced Mr. Channing-Williams as co-member and the company officially became Reynolds Entertainment. The company began to evolve into other areas of the entertainment business, including sales and talent representation, to generate additional revenue. This diversification also served to extend and solidify its working industry relationships both in the U.S. and abroad. Reynolds Entertainment possesses the expertise to acquire, develop, finance, produce and distribute all manner of projects across the media spectrum and is positioned to thrive in changing business climates and to capitalize on technological developments in the industry.
