History Mister Smith Entertainment was founded by David Garrett on 1 May 2012, as a joint venture between Garrett and Constantin Films. Garrett previously had founded Summit Entertainment where he served as president until his resignation in February 2012, following Summit's acquisition by Lionsgate. The company was established with Ralpho Borgos as chief of international licensing and distribution, and Annasivia Britt as vice president of the company's marketing and publicity department. The first film distributed by Mister Smith was The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, which was acquired at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
Highlights include a six year partnership with Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios where Mister Smith was the exclusive international licensing partner for DreamWorks Studios films in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
In 2023 Esme Grace, led by producer Laura Rister and entrepreneur Tom McLeod, invested in Mister Smith to create an alliance to develop prestige independent feature films.
