Fine Line Features
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fine Line Features was the speciality films division of New Line Cinema. From 1990-1995, under founder and president Ira Deutchman,[1] Fine Line acquired, distributed and marketed films of a more "indie" flavor than its parent company, including such critically acclaimed films as "Hoop Dreams,"[30]"The Player," "Short Cuts," "Night on Earth," "My Own Private Idaho" "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle." In 2005, New Line teamed up with fellow Time Warner subsidiary HBO to form Picturehouse, a new specialty film label of which Fine Line was folded into.
