'''Dogwoof''' is a [film-distribution](/source/film_distributor) company based in the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom).
==History==
=== Dogwoof Pictures ===
Dogwoof was founded in 2003 by [Andy Whittaker](/source/Andy_Whittaker), and originally concentrated on foreign films, including such titles as ''Don't Move'', ''[Fateless](/source/Fateless_(film))'', ''[El Lobo](/source/El_Lobo)'', and ''Esma's Secret''.[{{cite news |url=http://www.independent-magazine.org/node/2273 |title=Talking to Oli Harbottle of Dogwoof |last=Chase |first=Nikki |date=December 2008 |publisher=[Independent-Magazine](/source/The_Independent) |accessdate=18 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100111032931/http://www.independent-magazine.org/node/2273 |archivedate=11 January 2010 }}]
In July 2005, the company experimented by distributing James Erskine's ''[EMR](/source/EMR_(film))'' simultaneously in [cinemas](/source/cinemas), on the internet through [Tiscali](/source/Tiscali) (ISP), and on [DVD](/source/DVD) through its Home Entertainment division. The move was notable since most films are released through different distribution channels on a staggered schedule, giving each channel an exclusive release window. Exhibitors were especially wary, as many feared that they would eventually lose their exclusive release windows for more mainstream films.[{{cite news|url=http://login.vnuemedia.com/hr/google/login_subscribe.jsp?id=zf1eaW8N0UQ6%2FI7ScH8pMBa0vvBdIda7DQkUXRc45MnYurLHGiElVKfMCKLSDvhMPHWdVxruwK43%0ASAFeOpcdUKFftYJBpPT7jwY6KH8vjzYvjVSV2x%2Bgd5l7gsUO9mHaEVdOTtjPNrilZoxiRs96T6AO%0AzL4OQgxI4VXndBr7dDsX88XZxHSK3Uqrrtx4IFa%2BTurSBSx7Jv5MvJsOaZ4o4krHu6o4xu3DQ6s2%0A8ZDloqujlGVtEv81wFJCJ0cRXPoA|title=Dogwoof launching 'EMR' in three mediums|date=28 June 2005|work=[The Hollywood Reporter](/source/The_Hollywood_Reporter)|accessdate=18 April 2010}}{{dead link|date=October 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}]
