CEG prides itself on their strong relationships with producers and filmmakers. Here are just a few testimonials of what they have to say about CEG.


"After producing "Sight" I found myself unable to devote the time necessary to pound the distribution pavement. Upon seeing the film, Jeffrey Cooper made it clear to me that little would get in his way of finding a deal for me. Which is exactly what he's done; "Sight" is now slated for release with Lions Gate."

Clayton Haske, Producer- Sight


"Two weeks after signing with CEG my film was offered a respectable deal with the right distributor. CEG was honest, forthright, fair and speedy. I can honestly say Jeff Cooper is one of the few people a filmmaker can trust in this industry."

Vita Lusty Producer/Director Til Death Do Us Part


"Jeffrey Cooper and CEG flawlessly navigated us through the distribution waters, the ending result being that I signed a distribution contract that I'm extremely happy with. I truly appreciate CEG looking out for us the way they did. A rare commodity with any sales agent in today’s marketplace."

Eric Stanze Director/ Deadwood Park


"Just two weeks after I signed with Cut Entertainment my film not only secured a US distribution deal but my first international sale as well. Easily accessible, quick, aggressive movers and shakers, a company that returns phone calls promptly and pays it producers, there is simply no substitute for CEG."

Jack Thomas Smith - Writer/Director/Producer of "Disorder"


"I knew Jeffrey Cooper and CEG were the right fit for my picture within moments of our first discussion. After chatting for nearly an hour with Mr. Cooper I learned more about distribution than in all my 35 years of producing and directing. I'd personally like to thank him and his team for their hard work and professionalism in representing our feature film. Through their hard work and stature in the film industry we were able to strike a deal with a top notch distributor in all of two months. I couldn’t have dreamed of the level at which they operate. Jeffrey took a small project and made it a big project. His resources are incredible and his work is relentless."

Stephen Durham, Producer/Director

"CEG Rules! Jeffrey Cooper and CEG have a fantastic working knowledge of the industry and were very quickly able to find the correct market for my film. The Planet now has distribution deals in the US and Japan and this is entirely down to Jeffrey Cooper and Cut Entertainment. They have surpassed our expectations and shown us that our movie can do well if handled by the right agent. Going with CEG has been the best decision I've made in a long time."

Mark Stirton, Director
"The Planet"


"Jeffrey Cooper is no holds barred! He took my call, requested a screener, liked it, sent me a contract that was simple, clear, concise and included an easy-out clause had I not been satisfied with his company's services. Two weeks later he had a North American DVD deal lined up with a top-notch distributor. Jeff asks for no money up-front and takes on the risk with you. What more could a producer ask for?"

Ron Smorynski - "World Gone Mad"


"Jeff Cooper does walk the walk! He promised a North American DVD sale within 60 days and he did indeed deliver. All of our films have been released theatrically in North America and while most have studio ancillary deals I've NEVER seen anyone deliver activity on a film as fast and skillfully as Jeff Cooper and CEG!"

Sharon Lester
Director of Distribution, Rainbow Releasing

"Effectively sending our film to a wide distribution market and landing us a deal with a first rate distributor, Jeffrey Cooper and CEG got the job done. Thanks to their efforts our film is out to a broad audience. I’d recommend CEG to anyone."

Julian Adams

Writer/Director- The Last Confederate: The True Story of Robert Adams


"Jeff Cooper and CEG don't mess around, period! Quick results, honest breakdown of the deal, and people skills that Hollywood should take notes on. I imagine that any filmmaker is pretty much exhausted by the stress of the whole process once it comes time to get a movie sold and seen, and CEG proves a genuinely refreshing departure from all that. Good job, mate."

Jason Bounds- Writer/Director- Day X (US Video Release)


“Jeff Cooper and CEG are remarkably hard-working, and I am constantly impressed with their ability to get genuine results for my film. Their diligence and enthusiasm are a breath of fresh air in this business. I am very fortunate to be working with them.“

Bilge Ebiri
Writer / Director NEW GUY (US VIDEO RELEASE)


“Intelligent, hard-working, and street smart, Jeff ‘The Coop’ Cooper brings many gifts to the table.

He puts a lot of focus on the filmmaker, not just the buyer, to come up with the right fit -- both short and long term. He is not afraid to tell either party if the fit is not right, irrespective of how excited someone may be. This shows enormous integrity and leads to a successful end result for all parties involved.

Working with ‘The Coop’ is like playing doubles in tennis and finding out Andre Agassi is your partner – you might make a couple of good shots, but he’ll win the match.”

Lance Doty
Writer / Producer, NOISE (US VIDEO RELEASE)


"Jeff Cooper and CEG are persistent, driven, and honest -- great qualities to have in a sales agent and producer's rep. We're excited by their ability to get results, and feel lucky to have them on our side."

"Jeff Cooper and Cut Entertainment Group are the only indie sales agents that I have ever worked with whose feet match their mouth, in other words they walk the walk.

If you tire from all the nonsense and deception in the film distribution business, send CEG your film. They will find a market for it very quickly and fairly, allowing you to do what you do best, make films. They sold the US and Canada in less then 3 weeks, and in that time I've also received my first overseas deal. If you need it to happen, Jeff's the man.

Benjamin Meade, Director "James Ellroy presents Bazaar Bizarre"


"My partner and I had already received a few distribution offers when along came Jeff Cooper and CEG. He asked what kinds of offers we had and assured us that he could do better. Within two days he had a solid offer for North American distribution that totally blew our other offers away. After that, Jeff wasted no time fitting our film to a deal in the United Kingdom. We worked hard and worked smart, but Jeff Cooper's deal-making ability is what really saved the day. Thanks to Cut Entertainment Group, audiences the world over will see our movie! I'm telling you, everyone needs a Jeff Cooper. I'm so glad he's on our team."

Roger Leatherwood

“It took five years to get our first film distributed. It took our second film four years. Mr. Cooper and Cut Entertainment Group managed to get our third movie a wonderful north American video distribution deal in a few months. It's the first time we get to release a movie the same year we finish it. Now that's what we can call a success story! Thank you CEG.”

Ricardo Islas
Writer/Director NIGHT FANGS (US VIDEO RELEASE)


"In this tough market it’s a pleasure to have a tireless rep. like Jeff Cooper in Killer Me’s corner. Jeff is upfront and honest, keeps his inventory small enough to give individual attention to each title, and at the end of the day he makes sure his filmmakers get paid."

Zachary Hansen
Writer/Director "Killer Me"
US Video Release/ Germany Video Release


"Straight up and to the point, I knew I liked Jeffrey Cooper the first time we spoke. I liked him even more when he called me three weeks after signing with CEG to tell me that my film Wesley Cash was going to be picked up for distribution. I’m still in shock!"

Thanks, Jeff. You did an amazing job and I am highly impressed."
