Freestyle Releasing is an independent film studio founded in 2003, specializing in releasing films theatrically.^[2][3] Unlike most distributors, Freestyle Releasing does not put up any prints and advertising money for its releases.^[4]

The studio's first wide release was 2006's An American Haunting, which earned US$29.6 million. Its most successful film released theatrically to date is God's Not Dead (2014) which earned $62.6 million following its March 21, 2014 release. The label also handles releases from Bob Yari's Yari Film Group and co-runs the genre label After Dark Films.

In October 2015 Byron Allen acquired Freestyle for an undisclosed amount "said to be sealed for high-eight figures".^[5]
