Variance Films is a privately held film distribution company founded in 2008 that uses an innovative model of self-distribution combined with select elements of traditional theatrical distribution to allow filmmakers to achieve quality theatrical releases for their films.[1] Variance Films is notable in that they do not require filmmakers to sign over any rights to their films, instead partnering with filmmakers to ensure their film gets the proper theatrical release, while allowing them to keep their DVD, video on demand, television, and international rights.[citation needed]
In 2014 it was announced that GoDigital and Variance Films would be merging and forming the distribution company Amplify.[2] In 2019, Variance extracted itself from the arrangement and relaunched as a standalone company.
