[1] The new company was called Hill-Mandelker Films, and held a distribution deal with Novacom, Inc. (which was co-owned by Bruce Paisner and PBS affiliate WGBH in Boston[2] and was renamed King Features Entertainment after being acquired by the Hearst Corporation in 1981).
The first production produced under this new banner was Mirrors, the 1985 adaptation of the James Lipton book, and continued with movies like The Long Hot Summer (1986), Passion and Paradise (1989), False Arrest (1991), Dead Before Dawn and Stalking Laura (both in 1993).
[1] The company, alongside fellow producers Steve Tisch, Robert Greenwald, Frank Von Zerneck, Michael Jaffe, Frank Koingsberg, Jon Avnet, Steve White, their respective partners, and the filmed entertainment division of Spectacor, launched Allied Communications, Inc. (or ACI Worldwide Distribution for short) in 1989 to distribute its productions.
In 2000, Hill-Fields Entertainment, renamed Leonard Hill Films, reemerged from dormancy to produce one final movie, Stolen From the Heart.
That was until independent distributor Multicom Entertainment Group brought out the entire library of Hill and four other producers that used ACI to distribute their productions.
