History
Phase 4 Films traces its history to Telegenic, a family-oriented film distributor that was founded in 1996. Berry Meyerowitz purchased Telegenic in 2000 and renamed it as "Kaboom! Entertainment". In 2006, Peace Arch Entertainment Group, which later merged with ContentFilm, purchased Kaboom!. Berry Meyerowitz founded Phase 4 Films in April 2009 when he bought back their North American distribution business.[1]
In 2011, Phase 4 announced a new Canadian television venture along with Take 5 Development.[2] In 2012, they partnered with Kevin Smith's SModcast Pictures to distribute those films in the U.S. and Canada.
