Background

Pure Flix was founded in 2005 by actor David A.R. White and producer Russell Wolfe to create explicitly faith-based films. Originally formed as Pure Flix Entertainment, they released their product straight-to-DVD and gradually expanded to theatrical distribution and international sales later on. In 2015, the company bought the VOD platform I Am Flix and rebranded it as their eponymous streaming service. The next year, home media distribution of their films was transferred to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment via a multi-year deal. Their overall success led to the creation of two subsidiaries, Quality Flix and Pinnacle Peak Pictures.

In 2020, Pure Flix's streaming service was acquired by Sony Pictures Entertainment and integrated it into their Affirm Films banner. The deal also included the name "Pure Flix" and its relating trademarks. As a result, Pure Flix Entertainment was rebranded to the Pinnacle Peak name, which was made official in January 2021. Despite this, the film studio's output continued to be branded as Pure Flix Originals when released on the service.

In May 2023, Pure Flix was merged into Great American Media and the service was renamed as Great American Pure Flix that September. Sony remains involved with the venture.
