Two SMB clients celebrate cinema releases in the UK this week
We are thrilled to see two films at the UK cinema this week, Eaten By Lions and Out Of Blue, having worked for the financiers pre and during production for both.
Partner James Greenslade represented The Electric Shadow Company as bridge financier for the film Out of Blue starring Patricia Clarkson and James Caan. The film was part funded by BBC Films and the BFI, and is based on the Martin Amis book.
In addition to The Electric Shadow Company, James also represented The Bayard Fund, financiers of Eaten by Lions, which has received a 4* review in The Guardian.
