Westlake Entertainment

Background
Westlake Entertainment is a fully integrated, public domain DVD distribution company. Primarily engaged in licensing and distributing feature films and television programs, Westlake specializes in bringing new release content to retail. Westlake served as a distributor for the following labels: Rigel Entertainment (theatrical features), Lonely Seal Releasing (theatrical features), Red Bull USA (extreme sports), and Cineville Films (theatrical features). Westlake also sold its product to the overseas marketplace through its international arm, . Later on, after independent film company Cineville and DVD distributor Westlake Entertainment merged into an indie studio called Keystone, Westlake Entertainment sold its library of films to Osiris Entertainment, causing for them to disappear.
