Move first
We provide early capital for viable productions at the point when forward motion matters most.
A Gosier Family Office company
First money. Bigger pictures.
Southbox Entertainment provides first-money and mezzanine financing for film and television—helping strong projects reach the capital that comes next.
Our thesis
The hardest capital to find is often the first.
We enter early, when the package is real but the larger financing stack is still coming together. Our role is to create momentum, increase certainty, and help capable producers move toward senior lenders, banks, and institutional partners.
How we work
Lead early. Structure clearly. Unlock the stack.
Build the path
We work with producers to understand the budget, collateral, timing, recoupment plan, and the capital that follows us.
Bring in more
Our capital is designed to help unlock larger senior facilities and aligned financing partners—not replace them.
Capital
Built for the space between greenlight and closing.
First money
Selective early-stage capital for projects with a credible team, defined need, and clear next financing milestone.
Mezzanine
Flexible financing positioned between producer equity and senior debt, structured around the realities of the project.
Co-financing
Capital alongside senior lenders, banks, and aligned partners when the structure calls for a collaborative close.
We know the difference between a good story and a financeable production.
