Masterpiece Film's first theatrical release, The Chaperone, was produced in partnership with Fibonacci Films and had a short run in theaters back in March of 2019, following its initial premiere at the 2018 LA Film Festival. But after decades of bringing high-end television adaptation of literary, well, masterpieces, to the small screen, the company is branching out to feature films.
