Kaleidoscope Entertainment CEO Spencer Pollard described 2014 as a “key year for Kaleidoscope to establish itself firmly as a distributor of independent theatrical feature films and documentaries in the U.K.”
He added that “Terry will bring a huge amount of nous to help us achieve our goals.”
Dove said: “During these tough and challenging times in the U.K. market, particularly for independents, it was always going to take something special to excite me and make me feel I could be part of a distribution company that could make a difference.”
