Re: Warner has shuttered its "specialty" divisions: analysis from L.A. Times
Comment from Bob Berney, fired head of Picturehouse and one of the most highly regarded figures in the world of independent film:

"Their decision was not to be in this business," he said. "It's not a reflection on me or Picturehouse. It's not their world." Berney has no specific plans for a new job. "A lot of people want to do something — companies, investors. I am confident at the end of the day I will find something, but it needs to be a place that fits," he said. Berney added that he and several others from Picturehouse will be in Cannes as scheduled. WIP is sending a smaller contingent than originally planned.
