'''Revelations Entertainment''' is an independent movie production company founded by actor Morgan Freeman and business partner Lori McCreary in 1996. Its mission statement, to "reveal truth,"<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://variety.com/2017/film/features/morgan-freemans-biggest-revelation-he-could-shape-his-own-destiny-lori-mccreary-1202631663/|title=Morgan Freeman's Biggest Revelation: He Could Shape His Own Destiny|last=Longwell|first=Todd|date=2017-12-07|work=Variety|access-date=2017-12-14|language=en-US}}</ref> drives the company to produce thought-provoking entertainment with artistic integrity and "soul."
In 2006, Revelations became the first film production company in history to distribute a film (''10 Items or Less'') online while the movie was still playing in theaters. This was achieved by using ClickStar (also founded by Freeman and McCreary as a joint venture with Intel Corporation) as their online distribution site.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/28/AR2006112801412.html|title=A Start-Up Fueled by Star Power|last=Ahrens|first=Frank|newspaper=The Washington Post |date=2006-11-29|access-date=2017-12-15|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}}</ref>
