In May 2025, the independent film producer and distributor announced its rebranding, with which it would be renamed Independent Film Company (IFC), launching its logo and changing the name of its parent group from AMC Networks Entertainment Group to IFC Entertainment Group.
This is how the integrated structure of AMC Networks' four film verticals, which include Independent Film Company, IFC Center, RLJE, and Shudder, is formalized. The brands continue to operate with a synergistic approach across the AMC Networks ecosystem. IFC co-distributes horror films with Shudder, the streaming service specialized in the genre.
