The story
Capital Arts Entertainment was founded in 1995 by Mike Elliot, Rob Kerchner and Joe Genier.
The company's first major effort, Casper: A Spirited Beginning (1997) won VSDA's direct-to-video release by a major studio in 1998. The company later developed and produced many more sequels for the home entertainment market, working with most of the major studios. Among the direct-to-video sequels produced by the shingle, American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile, and The Prince and Me 2: The Royal Wedding.
"We gained a reputation back in the 90′s for doing tightly-budgeted, high profile sequels, starting with Fox and Warner Bros (like Casper, Casper Meets Wendy, Addams Family Reunion, Richie Rich)", Elliot said in 2006. "The market was new, then, but growing. We helped it grow. Soon, word spread and we started doing sequels for many of the studios in town. It seems that there are only a handful of producers who can work within the tight budget parameters and high standards that this business demands."
In 2005, Capital Arts Entertainment announced the launch of an international distribution company, Push Worldwide.
Capital Arts Entertainment produced Beethoven's Big Break and Blue Crush 2, both of which Elliot also directed, Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball, American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, the VH1 telemovie Wifey and Death Race: Inferno. The company also provided production services on MTV's Teen Wolf TV series, which premiered on the network in 2011.
