Jason Botkin has closed his company Streetgang Films in order to concentrate on the post of executive producer at Furlined, the Santa Monica-based production company that represents Andreas Nilsson, Terri Timely, Yael Staav and several British directors in the US, including Dougal Wilson and Nez.

Jason has closed Streetgang with a farewell message on the company website, revealing that the closure had been in the pipeline for some time. “For me, this is a moment for which I long have planned, but which, nevertheless, comes with some sadness,” he says. “It has been one of the great joys of my life to run this company.”

With directors Paul Minor and Vincent Haycock, and also the likes of Keith Schofield and Nilsson, Streetgang Films gained a reputation for producing videos with top production values at moderate budget levels, and unusually for an LA-based outfit, grew largely on the basis of its popularity with British labels and commissioners. Streetgang directors have been responsible for videos for Muse, Editors, Cheryl Cole, Miike Snow, MSTRKRFT and many more.

In the past year, Jason has established close links with Furlined producing for the likes of Andreas Nilsson and Terri Timely. Now he will act as executive producer responsible for music videos at Furlined a roster including Nilsson and Adam Hashemi – and for the US only – Terri Timely, Nez and Dougal Wilson.

Paul Minor and Vincent Haycock will continue to be represented by Alexa Haywood at Free Agent UK in the UK, and Tommy Labuda in the US.
