MTD Entertainment Corporation was founded in 2001 as a private Florida S-Corporation. The corporation was initially founded as a film and television production company, but also moved into the field of real estate.
The company is best known as a Distributor of DVD and Blu-Ray . The company's corporate filing and debut feature film were first reported by the Orlando Business Journal in June 2000. Their first feature film was a drama about drug dealers entitled Alone and Restless. It was completed in 2005 and was exhibited at multiple art houses and other small venues until its DVD release in December 2008. In September 2007, the Orlando Sentinel reported that the company's second feature film would be a horror project entitled Bloody 27. In February 2009, the web site GreenRoom Orlando also obtained details on the company's 3rd feature during a casting notice. Their third film would be an espionage film entitled Midnight Dawn. By January 2010, the company had released about 25 films and documentaries to date on DVD, Blu-ray, Tivo and Amazon Video on Demand.
The firm was founded by filmmaker Michael T. Dunn after he released a trio of short films. The film division has since produced about a dozen documentaries and several feature films—becoming one of the more active production companies in Central Florida. The best known feature film to date was the horror film Bloody 27 starring Lauren Brown, Martin Seijo and Allan Medina.
