Heretic Films is an American film production company, based in the mountain resort town of Park City, Utah.[1] Heretic is known for working with artists, both new and established, on their passion projects.[2]
History
Films was founded in 2012 by Burton Ritchie and Ben Galecki[3] after a short, initial incarnation as Rather Good Film, co-founded with Daniel-Konrad Cooper.[4] Shortly after its transition to Heretic Films, Gregory Segal[5] joined the company along with board members Kevin Pollak[6] and Jason Alexander. Segal left the company in October 2015.
In 2014, Heretic Films ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for the documentary Misery Loves Comedy.[7][8] Misery went on to premier as a 2015 Sundance Film Festival special event[9] and was subsequently acquired by Tribeca Film.[10]
