You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Castle Hill Productions''' was an independent television and film distribution company handling classic and independent films whose library spans eight decades.

== History ==
((Unreferenced section|date=April 2021))
Founded in 1978 by [[Julian Schlossberg]], Castle Hill Productions revived and restored over 200 classic motion pictures, many of which were originally [[United Artists]] releases and inherited from the family and/or estates of the films' original producers under the Caidin Film Company.

As the company grew, Castle Hill acquired the rights to many films by [[John Cassavetes]], such as ''[[Faces (1968 film)|Faces]]'' and ''[[A Woman Under the Influence]]''. Both Schlossberg and [[Gena Rowlands]] (Cassavetes' widow), through their company, ''Faces Distribution'', have worked hard to revive the films for today's audiences in order for them to better appreciate the late director's work.

Castle Hill also bought the rights to many of the films of [[Elia Kazan]] and [[Orson Welles]]. In addition to their classic films, the company also distributed contemporary films (usually up to ten a year), and has been involved in in-house production, creating [[Documentary film|documentaries]] on filmmakers and news events.

The highest grossing contemporary film distributed by Castle Hill Productions was [[Left Luggage (film)|''Left Luggage'']], bringing in $1,113,208.<ref>((Cite web |title=All Time Worldwide Box Office for Castle Hill Productions Movies |url=https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-records/worldwide/all-movies/theatrical-distributors/castle-hill-productions |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=The Numbers))</ref>

== Closure and holdings ==
In 2009, Castle Hill closed. Most of their holdings sold to another independent company, [[Shout! Factory|Westchester Films]], managed by Schlossberg.

Most distribution rights to the Castle Hill library are handled by either [[Warner Bros.]], [[The Criterion Collection|Criterion]] (via [[Janus Films]]), or [[Image Entertainment]].

In 2014, the Westchester/Castle Hill holdings were purchased by entertainment distribution company [[Shout! Factory]].<ref>((Cite web| title = Shout!
