SISTER has increased its investment in Dorothy St. Pictures to expand its development of nonfiction series and films and build out its narrative film slate to further genres and platforms.
Recent projects from Dorothy St. Pictures include The Greatest Night in Pop (Netflix), Pamela: A Love Story (Netflix), If The Streets Were On Fire and the upcoming as-yet-untitled Victoria Beckham docuseries with Studio 99 (Netflix).
SISTER initially invested with a minority stake in March 2022.
“Creative excellence is the north star of everything we do, and SISTER’s ethos of independence has been critical to staying true to that vision, and ourselves, as we have grown,” said Julia Nottingham, Dorothy St. Pictures’ founder. “Their support has enabled us to stay adaptable as creative entrepreneurs, offering resource, experience and a shared view on the many opportunities ahead to tell more stories on a broader canvas. It’s the right time to extend our partnership, and I’m excited for what the future holds.”
“Our mission at Sister is to support creator-led businesses to truly fulfil their ambitions and potential globally,” said Elisabeth Murdoch, SISTER co-founder and executive chairman. “Julia and her exceptional team are rightly renowned for landmark films and series that engage audiences and spark conversations around the world. They are on a roll, have big plans, and we couldn’t be happier to be extending our partnership to make these happen.”
“With cinematic vision and illuminating storytelling, Julia and the Dorothy St. team consistently capture the zeitgeist and exemplify premium in their field,” said Jane Featherstone, chief creative officer at SISTER. “Their creativity, passion and talent make them best in class, kindred spirits and much valued partners within the Sister group.”
