Lender FilmHedge Launches Film & TV Fund With New York Asset Management Firm

EXCLUSIVE: MediaHedge, the parent company of Atlanta-based finance platform FilmHedge (Dead Man’s Wire), is launching a film and TV joint venture fund with a New York asset management firm.

FilmHedge, which lends money against pre-sales and tax credits, has worked on movies including Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire, André Holland and Kate Mara starrer The Dutchman, and upcoming romantic-drama Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day, with Haley Bennett, Lily Allen and Jack Whitehall.

The company declined to name the New York-based institutional investor it was partnering with on the fund, but the transaction was arranged by advisory platform Koo Capital.

According to the partners, the joint venture “will provide structured capital solutions to producers and studios, supporting a diverse slate of film and media projects across multiple genres and distribution platforms.”

The partners said the initial capital commitment of “up to $200M is expected to be deployed across a pipeline of film and media projects beginning in the spring of 2026, with the potential for expansion as the partnership scales.”

New media transactions are being led by Erik Gordon, FilmHedge’s Director of Corporate Development, alongside 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 to support high-quality storytelling worldwide.”

Kyle Brockett, Co-Founder of Koo Capital, added: “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.”
