Actress Jaime King has partnered with producer Emma Comley and executive Sola Fasehun to form Hooligan Dreamers, to create what its founders call an interdisciplinary production company.

With a focus and features and series, the goal of the company will be to “develop and produce stories for both screen and television with a fearless and sensitive approach that speaks a truth not always voiced,” according to Hooligans’ mission statement.

The producers continued, “We aim to fill the gap between studios and creators. We want to support the future of storytelling.  Our mission is to entertain global audiences and all people no matter their race, creed, situation or circumstance; to create windows and mirrors where all audiences can see their stories on screen.”

The trio’s broad experience could serve them well as hungry upstarts.

King, who parlayed a modeling career into a long-standing acting presence by starring in a slew of genre movies and comedies over the past 20 years, has also tried her hand at writing, producing, and directing, and has worked with a range of studios and networks, as well as distributors and financiers.  She is currently the producer and star of Netflix’s Black Summer as well as exec producing and starring in a project being developed by author Kelly Oxford, titled Estranged, for AMC.

Comley is an LA-based producer with 25 years of experience in the industry. In 2012 she co-founded Blonde to Black Pictures  in London with a focus on nurturing new talent.  That banner yielded the 2016 fantasy Set the Thames on Fire and the Samantha Morton drama Two for Joy, both of which made the film festival rounds and nabbed distribution.

Bringing a range of experience to the company is Fasehun, who worked under Academy Award-winning producer Michael Phillips at Lighthouse Productions as well as a sales and distribution consultant at Submarine Entertainment/Deluxe. She also has agency experience, having worked on the leadership team for UTA diversity initiative and also as a motion picture lit agent and inclusion board chair at Buchwald.
