Filmland Spirits Continues Expansion, Enters East Coast Markets

Award-winning spirit portfolio kicks off crowd-funding campaign on Start Engine to fund demand from new markets

Los Angeles, CA (May 19, 2025) – Filmland Spirits, the producer behind the award-winning collection of American whiskeys that are disrupting the category and attracting new fans, continues its expansion across the United States. The craft spirits brand recently added New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan, bringing the total number of states where its small batch whiskeys are available at retail and select on-premise accounts to 15.

“In 2022, we saw the opportunity to combine Hollywood’s story telling talent with Kentucky’s whiskey wisdom,” said founder and CEO Troy Bolotnick. “The result has been not just another new spirits brand – but a taste revolution with a plot twist in every pour that is getting rave reviews from critics and consumers alike.”

The Filmland team believes that every whiskey has a story, and every story deserves a whiskey. The result is a wildly creative pairing of an original retro B-Movie concept – complete with monsters, robots and over-the-top plots – with a delicious and unique whiskey. Even the custom bottles which are inspired by the world of moviemaking tell part of the story and feature immersive story-driven movie poster as labels. 

In the two and a half years since launch, Filmland has experienced significant growth, including nearly doubling sales during the last 12 months. As a result, today Filmland Spirits has kicked off a crowd-funding campaign on Start Engine and is inviting their fans and the general public to invest in the next chapter of growth as Filmland Spirits continues to bring its delicious bourbons and ryes to awaiting fans across the country.

“We are a unique brand that has inspired a passionate following of nearly 20,000 movie and whiskey fans,” added Bolotnick. “Our community is so important to us that we thought this would be a great way to thank them for their loyalty, while inviting them to own a piece of a brand they support.”
