Pacific Mercantile Bank Provides Financing to EMU Films
March 06 2019 - 08:00AM
Pacific Mercantile Bank (“the Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary
of Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (NASDAQ: PMBC), today announced that
it has provided financing to EMU Films, a UK film production
company whose recent films include Dirty God which made its
critically acclaimed debut at the 2019 Sundance Film
Festival. EMU Films was referred to Pacific Mercantile Bank
by LipSync Post Limited, an internationally recognized post-house,
providing post-production services to the film and television
industry for more than 30 years.
EMU Films’ upcoming features include The Show, based on an
original story from Alan Moore, the legendary graphic novel creator
of Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell. The Show, directed
by Mitch Jenkins from a script written by Alan Moore, tells the
story of a man of multiple identities who arrives in town to find a
world of dead lotharios, comatose sleeping beauties, voodoo
gangsters and masked adventurers.
“We are very excited to collaborate with Alan Moore and bring
his first original screenplay to audiences across the world,” said
Mike Elliot, Principal at EMU Films. “We had a very specific
timeframe for making this film. Pacific Mercantile Bank was
incredibly responsive and accommodating, which has allowed us to
remain on track with our production schedule.”
“We would like to thank Norman Merry of LipSync Post Limited for
introducing us to EMU Films,” said Christopher Howland, Vice
President at Pacific Mercantile Bank. “EMU is a prolific and
forward-looking production company and we expect The Show to help
them reach another level of success.”
“Christopher and his team at Pacific Mercantile Bank
consistently deliver outstanding support to clients in the
entertainment industry,” said Norman Merry, Finance Director of
LipSync. “I always feel confident recommending them to
production companies looking for a flexible, highly responsive
banking partner.”
