Bob Berney (born 1953) is an American independent film executive based in Los Angeles. Currently, he is the CEO of Picturehouse, an independent motion picture marketing and distribution company that acquires, markets and distributes films from the U.S. and around the world. In September 2021, Picturehouse announced that it will release Becoming Cousteau, a documentary that uses previously unseen archival footage to chronicle the life and career of the adventurous oceanographer and filmmaker Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who coinvented scuba diving and foretold the impact of pollution on climate change. Directed by Liz Garbus, the film is scheduled to be released on October 22, 2021. In May 2021 the company released Fatima, a historical drama directed by Marco Pontecorvo and starring Joaquim de Almeida, Goran Višnjić, Stephanie Gil, Lúcia Moniz, Sônia Braga and Harvey Keitel.[1][2][3]
Berney has guided the acquisition, marketing and/or distribution of many notable independent films, including Manchester by the Sea, Memento, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Passion of the Christ, Pan’s Labyrinth and Drive.[4] The films he has been associated with have won multiple Academy Awards and grossed more than $1 billion at the North American box office.[5]
