Regent Releasing

Regent Releasing is a U.S. theatrical distribution company based in Los Angeles, California, under the umbrella of Regent Entertainment, which is owned by producers Paul Colichman and Stephen P. Jarchow.

Veteran film buyer John A. Lambert (previously of United Artists) is the President of Regent Releasing, Jonathon Aubry (formerly of here! Networks) is the Vice President of Theatrical Marketing, and Helene Nielsen Beal, (formerly of Disney, ABC and Paramount) is the Director of U.S. Theatrical Distribution and Marketing.

Focusing on narrow releases of independent films from around the world and from U.S. filmmakers, Regent's success includes such films as "Sordid Lives" starring Olivia Newton-John, Delta Burke, and Leslie Jordan, Franco Zeffirelli's "Callas Forever" starring Fanny Ardant, Jeremy Irons and Joan Plowright, and "The Hunting of the President," producer Harry Thomason's documentary based on the book about the right-wing conspiracy to destroy Bill Clinton.
