FilmDistrict Distribution LLC was an American independent^[1] motion picture company based in Los Angeles. It specialized in acquisitions, distribution, production, and financing. It was founded in September 2010 by Bob Berney and Peter Schlessel in partnership with Graham King and Timothy Headington.^[1] The production and film financing operations of Film District Distribution (FDD) were discontinued and have been managed by Focus Features since 2014. What remains of Film District Distribution today is its independent film agency specializing in acquisitions and film adaptations.

FilmDistrict's releases were distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for home media, with the exception of Red Dawn, which was released on home media by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and then by MGM Home Entertainment through Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment (via Studio Distribution Services, LLC.). FilmDistrict was merged into Focus Features in 2014. Soul Surfer, Looper, Evil Dead and Pompeii were retained by TriStar Pictures after 2014.
