Rainbow Releasing, with its distribution staff headed by Sharon Lester for over a decade, uses a mix of distribution
strategies for their slate of films. They have alternated between Studios (Paramount, Paramount Classics, Lion's Gate,
MGM) and their own Rainbow Releasing company directly. In addition to many of Henry Jaglom's films (from the cult-hit film
Eating: A Very Serious Comedy About Women and Food to the critically acclaimed Deja vu). Rainbow Releasing has also
had condiderable success with outside acquisitions, most notably the theatrical and non-theatrical distribution of both
Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Monty Python's Life of Brian whose 35mm prints are being circulted in reissue
(currently in conjunction with Spamalot) in North America respectively for seven and five years respectively; Academy Award
winner Diane Kurys' Love After Love (Apres Lamour) starring Isabelle Huppert; Barry Primus' Mistress, starring Robert
Deniro and Robert Wuhl; Maximilian Schell's My Sister Maria, starring his late-sister, the legendary actress Maria Schell;
the upcoming Phyllis and Harold, directed by Cindy Kleine and produced by Andre Gregory; and the re-issue of Peter Davis'
1974 Academy Award winning documentary Hearts and Minds, for which Henry Jaglom along with Howard Zuker won an
Academy Award for Rainbow and Presenter.

Born in London, England, brought up from earlist childhood in New York City, Henry Jaglom trained with Lee Strasberg at
The Actors Studio and performed in off-Broadway theatre and cabaret before coming to Hollywood in the late 1960's. Under
contract to Columbia Pictures, he guest-starred on T.V. shows ("Gidget", "The Flying Nun") and was featured in a number
of films (Richard Rush's "PSYCHE-OUT," Boris Sagal's "THE 1000 PLANE RAID)" including movies directed by Jack
Nicholson ("DRIVE, HE SAID") Dennis Hopper ("THE LAST MOVIE") and Orson Welles ("THE OTHER SIDE") - each of whom
he eventually directed in return. Although Jaglom's film-making career began in the cutting room (when he helped edit
Dennis Hopper's "EASY RIDER"), his roots are firmly planted in acting and he has costarred in four of his own films and
played supporting roles in two or more of them. According to movie historian David Thompson: "Jaglom's films are actors'
films, in that they grow out the actors' personalities. They are as loose and as unexpected as life but as shaped and
witty as great short stories!"
