High Frequency: From Arthouse to Film Financier Success

High Frequency, under the leadership of Duncan Montgomery and Alex Orlovsky, has significantly evolved its business model since 2021. The company has transitioned from producing a select number of arthouse films to establishing itself as a robust film financier. This strategic pivot has yielded substantial success, highlighted by two of their financed projects, 'Lurker' and 'Sorry, Baby,' earning nominations for best feature at the prestigious Gotham Awards.

The duo emphasizes backing unique and distinctive films, a strategy that has resonated with audiences and distributors. 'Lurker,' a psychological thriller, and 'Sorry, Baby,' a dark comedy-drama, both secured distribution deals at the Sundance Film Festival. High Frequency's investment portfolio now includes nine features, with a remarkable seven achieving financial success. This includes films such as 'The Last Showgirl' and 'Memory,' demonstrating a consistent ability to identify promising projects.

Despite a challenging box office landscape, High Frequency remains committed to fundamental principles: investing in strong material and talented individuals, and executing with precision. Montgomery, who founded the company in 2014, and Orlovsky, a veteran producer and childhood friend, leverage their deep understanding of the industry and their personal bond to navigate the evolving film industry, focusing on responsible production and sustainable success.
