FilmHedge Teams Up with New York Asset Management Firm to Launch Film and TV Fund
MediaHedge Launches Film and TV Joint Venture Fund
MediaHedge, the parent company of Atlanta-based finance platform FilmHedge, has announced the launch of a joint venture fund in collaboration with a New York asset management firm. The move aims to bolster financing in the film and television sector.
FilmHedge specializes in providing financing against pre-sales and tax credits, having been involved in projects like The Dutchman starring André Holland and Kate Mara, Special Op: Rent-a-Cop featuring Michael Jai White, and the upcoming romantic drama Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day, which stars Haley Bennett, Lily Allen, and Jack Whitehall.
While the specific New York institutional investor remains undisclosed, the partnership was facilitated by advisory platform Koo Capital.
According to the partners, the joint venture is set to deliver structured capital solutions to producers and studios, supporting a diverse array of film and media projects across various genres and distribution platforms.
The initial capital commitment of up to $200 million is anticipated to be deployed starting in the spring of 2026, with potential for expansion as the partnership progresses. New media transactions will be overseen by Erik Gordon, FilmHedge’s Director of Corporate Development, in conjunction with Mickey Vetter, Chief Growth Officer.
"This partnership represents a significant milestone for MediaHedge and reinforces our commitment to delivering scalable, institutional-grade financing solutions to the film and media sector,” said Jon Gosier, Chief Executive Officer of MediaHedge. “With access to substantial capital, we are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for production financing and support high-quality storytelling worldwide.”
Kyle Brockett, Co-Founder of Koo Capital, emphasized the growing interest from institutional investors in the media and entertainment sector. “Institutional capital is increasingly seeking asset-backed exposure to the media and entertainment sector, yet deployment has historically been constrained by the relationship-driven nature of origination. This joint venture bridges that gap — facilitating structured capital for creative talent who otherwise would not be able to bring their projects to life. What MediaHedge’s team has achieved to date is remarkable, and we are excited to be part of their next chapter.”
