Carey Olsen and Oakbridge Funds have supported Lorton Entertainment (Lorton), a UK-based film financing, production, sales and distribution group, on the launch of the Lorton Media Fund – the company’s first ever fund structure, which will provide production and distribution financing towards future projects.
Founded in 2014 by Julian Bird and a consortium of private financiers, Lorton has successfully raised and invested third-party capital into the production and release of 17 independent films in the past five years, including documentaries Supersonic; As It Was; Maradona; and Bros: After The Screaming Stops.
The establishment of the Lorton Media Fund under the Jersey Private Fund regime means Lorton will be better positioned to move quickly on attractive opportunities and create a healthier volume of content to maximise returns for investors.
