Friedman/Vanzetti Productions

Background
Originally formed as Dennis Friedman Productions by the eponymous producer, the company specialized in television productions. Graham Vanzetti would join in 1999 and it would rebrand to Friedman/Vanzetti Productions thereafter. Friedman became part of Entropy Films the same year and Vanzetti handled a majority of this label's affairs. Vanzetti would pass away in 2001, and Friedman would move to Entropy full time.
