Rojo Entertainment International was formed in 2024 by John C. Evans and Robinder Madahar.
Both John and Robinder have over 30 years corporate business experience, both having worked at some of the world’s top financial institutions.
Background
John began writing in the early 2000’s, writing and directing a number of short films, before raising finance and shooting a micro-budget feature film. For this John hired a castle in Austria and brought his cast and crew over for 20 days. ‘The Last Blood Line’ was vampire horror film, which never got onto the silver screen.
John is passionate about script-writing and while he wound down his ambitions to be a film-maker, he never stopped writing.
in 2024, While working in Mergers & Acquisitions, an opportunity came along to buy all or a share of an established Emmy winning TV & Film Production Company based in Germany. This fired up John’s ambitions once more. Unfortunately due diligence on that business found a hole in their process and a $2m risk that would have been transferred to John and Robinder had they bought a majority stake. It was decided that a small percentage would be bought, so John and Robinder were not exposed to the risk, and attempts to fix the cash flow issues proved to be more challenging when their bank removed their revolving line of credit and eight greenlit commissions could not be solved legally before the bank pulled the plug. The company was unfortunately put into receivership.
However, spurred on, Rojo began discussing the possibility of raising of $100m as an initial raise with the funds intended for acquiring Film and TV Production Companies. This is still ongoing. Below is how Rojo Entertainment would build this roll up.
Strategic Acquisitions: Rojo actively seeks to acquire smaller, independent Film & TV Production Companies, as well as expanding and developing their own slate.
Equity Partnership: To foster alignment of interests, Rojo typically acquires a majority stake (80%) while allowing former owners to retain a significant equity position (20%).
