The capital investment will enable the online distributor to expand its 4,000-strong film library to 5,000 by the middle of the year. 

“SnagFilms has grown with investments in technology, content and marketing, applied to a 4,000-title library that has grown 10-fold since our launch,” said SnagFilms founder and chairman Ted Leonsis.
