OUR VISION
At Wolfe, we believe strongly that the value of a company lies, not only in its “bottom line,” but the extent to which all of its activities and relationships affirm a commitment to quality and integrity. Our business policies and practices reflect our dedication to creating and maintaining an enduring, financially robust business driven by these principles.
Wolfe is the premier distributor of gay and lesbian feature films. We take pride in the fact that, for retailers, producers and consumers, the Wolfe logo on a film attests to its quality, presentation and entertainment value. We value that trust, and have built our business on that strong foundation since 1985.
Wolfe is always expanding, driven to realize and capitalize on new markets and emerging technologies. We invite creative partnerships to realize greater global success. A company wide, authentic commitment to customer service and adventurous marketing coupled with highly aggressive sales efforts allows Wolfe to continuously serve growing numbers with top quality product.
Wolfe has grown and developed in a manner that reflects the skills, values and sensibilities of the people who work here. We maintain a family culture, which enhances productivity, profitability and a keen understanding of the marketplace. Our motivated, fast-moving sales team is supported by a state-of-the-art distribution facility and an experienced staff of financial planners and negotiators.
We believe that Wolfe makes a difference, both inside and outside of the entertainment business. Our business model provides an example for social change, and our success allows us to give back to our community.

Theatrical Releasing
In 2004 Wolfe launched its theatrical distribution arm which is committed to offering films a full theatrical release in up to 40 North American cities. Wolfe employs a strategy of cost-effective, thorough and aggressive grass roots marketing, and platforms films by starting in markets most suited to each film and expanding the release thereafter.
Video Sales
Wolfe is the oldest and largest exclusive distributor of gay and lesbian feature films. We are experts in mainstreaming gay entertainment nationwide and we have a keen understanding of grass roots marketing.
Some of the most popular Wolfe video/DVD releases include: BROTHER TO BROTHER (the Sundance Jury Prize winning black gay drama by Rodney Evans), BIG EDEN (one of the most critically acclaimed films of its release year), GOLDFISH MEMORY (a a light-hearted look at dating in contemporary Dublin), and ON_LINE (the Sundance hit about an erotic website and its online netizens).
Wolfe has been a long-standing leader in the video industry. We developed relationships early with growing video giants urging the value of entertainment with gay and lesbian themes, advising them on the best titles to carry to reach the broadest possible audience. As a result, Wolfe now enjoys significant sales and key relations with Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Amazon.com, Netflix, Best Buy, Virgin Megastores and many more.
Marketing
Wolfe also provides special outreach and marketing to assist mainstream companies in accessing the gay market. For instance, Wolfe has been a key partner in the promotion of Showtime’s THE L WORD and QUEER AS FOLK.
Wolfe’s unique access to gay and lesbian consumers has been highly coveted by numerous studios and marketing firms who wish to reach this profitable market. For more information, contact Maria Lynn, info@wolfevideo.com, 408.268.6782
