History
In 2011, New Video formed a partnership with China Lion to distribute Chinese-language cinema throughout North America via multiple platforms. That same year, it was appointed as the exclusive digital platform aggregation partner for the Sundance Institute's Artist Services Initiative.
Co-presidents Susan Margolin and Steve Savage were honored with the 2011 Digital 25 Award by the Producers Guild of America and Variety, acknowledging their leadership in advancing digital entertainment.
Early in 2012, New Video was acquired by Cinedigm. The following year, Cinedigm expanded its holdings by purchasing Gaiam Vivendi Entertainment for $51.5 million, thereby becoming the successor entity to GoodTimes Entertainment.

New Video Digital stands as the largest independent digital video distributor worldwide, providing over 10,000 hours of film and television content accessible through download and streaming services such as iTunes, Netflix, and Hulu.
