CUT ENTERTAINMENT GROUP (CEG), founded in 2003 by Jeffrey Cooper, specializes in the production, distribution and sales representation of feature films. For thirteen years Mr. Cooper has worked in development, production, sales, and distribution for several prominent motion picture companies including Concorde/New Horizon, Kopelson Entertainment, Universal Studios, and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment. Since finding his niche in film distribution, Mr. Cooper has been responsible for the sales of nearly 50 feature films. CEG commenced as an underdog in film distribution and has no doubt thrived as a successful, integrity driven and producer friendly company.

With an international buyers list that includes motion picture studios, independent production companies, video distributors and television/cable outlets, CEG has more than proven it can compete with larger and longer existing agencies. CEG not only represents films owned by independent filmmakers but has also been subcontracted by numerous distribution companies and attorneys to represent their films as well. CEG's track record speaks volumes as titles feature the talent ranging from Academy Award nominees Jake Gyllenhaal, Don Cheadle, Stockard Channing, and Faye Dunaway to Gary Oldman, Pierce Brosnan, Jason Alexander, Rob Schneider, Janeane Garofalo, Ally Sheedy, John Heard, and Beverly D’ Angelo to name a few.

The inception of CEG came about as a result of Mr. Cooper's own horror short CUT. Hailed by horror legend Wes Craven as "a truly shocking short horror film, " CUT premiered in 2003 on Universal's SCI-FI Channel and has since sold on DVD/Video in North America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and The Netherlands as a bonus alongside many horror/thriller features, the latest being John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MEYERS. Thus CEG was born as it began representing features.

What makes CEG so desirable is their eclectic library and its determined staff that gives its producers the full attention they deserve. CEG is always accessible and always attentive. Once representing a film CEG immediately forwards the picture to potential buyers. CEG negotiates quickly, intensely and successfully.

CEG understands the hesitations and fears filmmakers experience in their quest to find the right representation for their blood, sweat and tears. For this, CEG's contractual terms are truly unique..

• CEG guarantees sales within sixty days and only asks for that time window of exclusivity to represent a film. In that time, if CEG is unable to sell the picture, all rights revert back to the producer at no expense, no questions asked.
• CEG asks for no up-front monies from its producers, only collecting their commission upon sale completion.
• CEG provides full disclosure to its producers before any deal is agreed upon and each producer is kept consistently appraised with the goings on with their picture.
• CEG guarantees advances on every deal.
• CEG guarantees payment to producers within two weeks of monies collected.
• CEG provides producers a finders fee on any sales that result from referred titles or distributors.

At CEG our success secret is simple; we respect our artists and we get the job done!
