Emmett/Furla Oasis Films (EFO Films), previously known as Emmett/Furla Films and Oasis Ventures Entertainment separately, was an American film and television production and financing company founded by Randall Emmett and George Furla in 1998. It is notable for funding and producing the films End of Watch, 2 Guns and Lone Survivor.
In 2018, the company was acquired by Helios and Matheson Analytics, which gained a 51% ownership stake in EFO.[1] It began producing films under MoviePass.[2] Two years later, following a litany of civil and federal lawsuits against HMNY and EFO,[3] in combination with controversy surrounding the latter's business practices and workplace issues,[4] the former filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in late 2019,[5] with both the latter and MoviePass dissolving their partnership and ending operations a year later.[6]
