Blue Harbor Entertainment is redefining independent film distribution by putting control back in the hands of filmmakers. Founded in 2023 by industry veterans Amanda Sherwin, Mike Messina, and Seth Needle, our company was built as a much-needed alternative in today’s challenging distribution environment – one that empowers storytellers with transparency, producer-friendly terms and a team of veterans dedicated to handcrafting each release.
With decades of combined experience spanning hundreds of films, we provide a comprehensive, full-scale distribution and marketing solution that covers all windows – theatrical and digital releases (including transactional, subscription and ad-supported VOD platforms, as well as Pay TV). Our approach is filmmaker-directed: we design customized release strategies and marketing campaigns that align with each creator’s vision and budget, ensuring every film reaches its audience while maintaining creative control and financial oversight.
Notable releases include the romantic comedy A Nice Indian Boy, starring Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff; the award-winning, untold story of Dr. Audrey Evans in Audrey’s Children, starring Natalie Dormer; Lilly, the inspiring true story of equal-pay activist Lilly Ledbetter starring Patricia Clarkson; Olivia Kuan’s award-winning documentary The Herricanes, about the groundbreaking first women’s full tackle football league; the cannabis horror/thriller Trim Season, featuring Jane Badler (V); Zia Mohajerjasbi’s acclaimed drama Know Your Place, set amidst a transforming Seattle; the sci-fi thriller Star People; and the chart-topping documentary animal.
At Blue Harbor, you’re not just another title in a catalog – you’re a partner. We help chart a clear path for your movie, whether you’re packaging a project, bringing a finished film to market, or seeking to expand its reach. Our mission is simple: to ensure your story takes center stage and finds an audience with your collaboration.
