About
An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile,
but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark — that is critical genius.
– Billy Wilder
B-Side uses the power of audience to discover and market films.
Founded in 2005, B-Side Entertainment represents the future of film distribution. Like Billy Wilder, we believe the audience is never wrong. That’s why we’ve built a new model for discovering and distributing films that starts with the audience.
