Following the recent majority acquisition of Lighthouse Pictures by Martini Film Studios, Jameson Parker has been promoted to the position of CEO, elevated from VP of Production. Previous CEO Jamie Goehring will continue to perform the day-to-day operations of the company with Parker whilst focussing on expanding Lighthouse’s production pipeline and expanding into new markets.
Jameson Parker has been working with Jamie Goehring and Shawn Williamson for nearly a decade and has produced titles such as the thriller IT LIVES INSIDE (QC Entertainment / NEON), the feature film SUMMER OF ‘84 (Gunpowder & Sky) which premiered at Sundance, and THREE WISE MEN AND A BABY (Hallmark), which was the most watched cable movie for 2022. Other credits include JULIE AND THE PHANTOMS (Netflix), the upcoming feature BORDERLINE (LuckyChap / Red A Entertainment), and series CHICKEN SISTERS (MarVista and Hallmark) starring Lea Thompson, Wendie Malick, Schulyer Fisk and Genevieve Angelson that is currently filming in British Columbia.
Lighthouse Pictures specialises in producing film and series projects for a range of leading networks and platforms, including Hallmark, A&E/Lifetime, MarVista, Netflix, Disney, Sony, GAF and CBS/ Viacom, with over 250 projects produced during the last 10 years. Lighthouse Pictures continues to be recognized and receive industry praise with Canadian Screen Awards nominations and numerous Leo Awards wins including five Leos for “Best Picture.”
Jameson Parker said, “I am very grateful for the trust that the team at Lighthouse have placed in me. 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.”
Gemma Martini commented that “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.”
