Apparition (company)
Apparition was a New York City-based independent film distributor founded by industry veteran Bob Berney (who served as its CEO) and film producer Bill Pohlad (who also founded earlier on, River Road Entertainment). Launched in August 2009, the company specialised in selections from the arthouse and independent film circuits. After releasing six feature films and one short, Apparition suspended its operations in May 2010 when Berney announced his resignation. It closed in late September 2010 after laying off its staff and selling the rights to its last remaining title, The Tree of Life, to Fox Searchlight Pictures.
