Background
October Films was an independent film production company and distributor founded in 1991 by Bingham Ray and Jeff Lipsky as a means of distributing the 1990 film Life Is Sweet. A series of mergers and acquisitions began when Universal Studios (then a division of Seagram & Sons) bought a majority stake in October Films in 1997. Universal then sold its shares to Barry Diller in 1999, who merged it with Gramercy Pictures, forming USA Films. Vivendi then acquired USA Films, who in 2002 acquired Good Machine and merged it with USA Films and Universal Focus, forming Focus Features.
