Criterion and Janus Films Sell to Indian Paintbrush Founder Steven Rales
Indian Paintbrush founder Steven Rales has purchased Criterion and Janus Films.
“We have grown our brands and audience with dedication to a set of values reflected in the films we release, the way we release them, and the way we conduct our business with our valued partners around the world,” said Criterion and Janus Films president Peter Becker told the outlet. Founded in 1984, Criterion pioneered the letterbox format for widescreen films, providing bonus features, special editions, soundtracks, multi-disc sets and definitive versions of classics. It launched Galerie, led by Andy Shapiro, in November 2023 as an immersive film club that combines movie collections, original videos, writings, live screenings and discussions.
