PRODUCER
One of the most prolific independent British film producers, industry veteran Jonathan Sothcott's past successes include Vendetta and We Still Kill the Old Way. Sothcott started his career as Britain’s youngest TV executive as Head of Programming at The Horror Channel before moving into feature films with Stalker directed by Martin Kemp. Kemp became a frequent collaborator, as would Danny Dyer, Steven Berkoff and many other acclaimed British actors. Sothcott’s ability to build relationships with talent, financiers and distributors, along with his ability to skilfully blend quality with commerciality, have made him one of the best-known indie producers in the UK. He has worked with Jason Statham, Sir Roger Moore and Mark Hamill. Today he is a regular fixture in British newspapers and on radio and television talking about the film industry. In 2014 he negotiated a ground-breaking multi-picture deal with US TV giant Starz. Sothcott is recognised as a successful entrepreneur, both in the film industry and the wider business community.
