Legacy Artists is engineering creative and technological innovations in entertainment distribution and exhibition and will be fully committed to the exclusive theatrical release window for projects handled by the company, incorporating the traditional moviegoing experience into its strategy. In its in-house projects, Legacy Artists begins with a treasure trove of intellectual property with which to create iconic and legendary stories that will creatively and artistically endure as well as commercially capitalize on the universal demand for content and drive authentic value creation and brand recognition in the Legacy brand name.
