“I am very grateful for the trust that the team at Lighthouse have placed in me,” Parker said. “I am looking forward to working with Gemma and Jamie as we build upon the phenomenal work that Lighthouse has done to this point. It’s an incredible opportunity to enrich and expand the company’s brand – I couldn’t be more excited.”
Martini Film Studios founder and CEO Gemma Martini said: “Part of the strategy when acquiring Lighthouse Pictures was to expand the scale and scope of the productions we will produce across Canada. With Jameson taking on the role of CEO, Jamie Goehring will focus his efforts on expanding the production slate, whilst continuing to work alongside Jameson on the day-to-day operations of service production for clients with our highly acclaimed production teams here in Vancouver.”
