Critically Acclaimed Film Premiered at this year's SXSW Festival
ATLANTA - eTravelWire -- ATLANTA, GA — Atlanta-based film and television financing firm Southbox Entertainment has joined the upcoming psychological thriller The Dutchman as a financing partner, with its founder, Jon Gosier, stepping in as Executive Producer. A renowned tech entrepreneur and financier, Gosier is widely recognized for bridging the gap between Silicon Valley innovation and Hollywood storytelling, and this latest venture reinforces his growing impact on the entertainment industry.
The Dutchman, directed and produced by Andre Gaines, is a gripping adaptation of Amiri Baraka's explosive 1964 Obie Award-winning play. Co-written by Gaines and Qasim Basir, the film features a standout cast including André Holland, Kate Mara, Zazie Beetz, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Aldis Hodge, and Lauren E. Banks. It made its world premiere at the 2025 SXSW Festival, earning widespread critical acclaim.

The film tells the story of Clay, a successful Black businessman navigating an identity crisis, who encounters Lula, a mysterious white woman, in a psychologically charged encounter on a New York subway. The narrative is a haunting exploration of race, power, and societal tension—brought to life with urgent relevance for today's audiences.
Jon Gosier, a former TED Fellow and one of TIME Magazine's 2015 Top Innovators, brings a rare blend of tech expertise, investment acumen, and creative sensibility to every project he touches. With his background in data science and venture capital, Gosier has become a pioneer in rethinking how films are financed, democratizing access to capital, and empowering underrepresented voices in entertainment.
"Southbox was founded to be more than a checkbook—it's a strategic partner that sits at the intersection of tech, culture, and creativity," said Gosier. "By leading with early-stage equity and co-structuring deals, we unlock the potential for powerful, meaningful stories like The Dutchman to be fully realized."

In 2023, Southbox announced an $80 million equity fund to support high-quality, socially resonant projects. This partnership with The Dutchman reflects that mission in action, as does the participation of FilmHedge, the debt financing platform Gosier also founded.
"I'm thrilled to support Andre Gaines and this remarkable cast in bringing The Dutchman to the screen," added Gosier. "It's a daring and necessary story that exemplifies why Southbox exists—to fuel stories that challenge, inspire, and resonate."
"Jon's pioneering approach to financing and his vision for elevating culturally significant work made him the ideal partner," said director/producer Andre Gaines. "We're honored to have Southbox on board and look forward to future collaborations."
