Raindog Films, the U.K. production company set up by Colin Firth and former Sony Music CEO Ged Doherty, is planning to expand into TV following an investment from the U.K. Creative Content EIS Fund.
The investment was unveiled Monday by the fund's manager, Calculus Capital, and Stargrove Pictures. As part of the company's expansion into TV drama, music content and documentaries, writer and producer Trish D. Chetty has joined Raindog to oversee the strategic move into small screen content. Financial details of the investment weren't disclosed, but the fund was launched last year in association with the British Film Institute and with an initial pot of £20 million .
"The BFI works tirelessly to champion and support independent film and the wider UK screen industries, creating opportunities to train and develop new talent, to discover new voices and to ensure the highest ethical standards," said Firth. "We are delighted to receive investment from the U.K. Creative Content Fund which, although it operates independently, was an initiative of the BFI and its board.
Stargrove Pictures, whose team has overseen more than £1 billion in investments in the creative industries, helped identify the opportunity to invest. As part of the deal, Stargrove Pictures CEO Stephen Fuss will join the board of Raindog Films.
