PorchLight Home Entertainment was a home video distributor and subsidiary of PorchLight Entertainment which released content on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States.
History
PorchLight Entertainment announced the formation of PorchLight Home entertainment on June 26, 2007, announcing that their first two planned releases would be A Tad of Christmas Cheer and A Christmas Carol for Annie.[1]
On April 24, 2008, PorchLight launched a Christian content sub-label called PorchLight INSPIRE.[2] On May 5, the company announced to enter the Blu-ray market.[3] The company launched another label later on in the year – Ocean Park Home Entertainment – for independent film acquisitions.[4]
In August 2009, PorchLight appointed Canada-based E1 Entertainment as the distributor for their products.[5] Following this deal, PorchLight Home Entertainment went dormant, with their last planned release, Broken Hill, planned originally for a Summer 2010 release, instead being released by Entertainment One in 2011.[6]
