Sister Buys Stake in Dorothy Street Pictures

Sister has taken a minority stake in Dorothy Street Pictures, which is behind the upcoming Pamela Anderson documentary for Netflix.

The nonfiction production company will remain fully independent but form “a unique alignment with Sister.”

Dorothy Street’s Julia Nottingham (Skate Kitchen, XY Chelsea) and her team of documentary filmmakers, including Emmy nominee Becky Read (Three Identical Strangers, Twas the Fight Before Christmas), will continue to develop and produce television and feature projects in the nonfiction space, as well as grow its scripted slate.

Julia Nottingham, founder of Dorothy Street Pictures, said: “At Dorothy Street Pictures, we believe in story first and are overjoyed to be supported by a company quite literally built around storytellers and the desire to empower the independent creative talent we all work with. We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with the teams both in-house at Sister and across the broader group as we seek out enthralling and thought-provoking new stories for those audiences around the world.”

Stacey Snider, co-founder and CEO of Sister, said: “In partnering with Dorothy Street, our goal is to support Julia and her team with a full spectrum of resources and support from Sister. Julia and her collaborators have demonstrated their talent for finding compelling stories that appeal to a broad cross-section of audiences, and we are excited to be working with such a remarkable team of producers as they expand their creative vision.”
