Davidson leads it as Principal, with Grant Hill ( Matrix franchise, Cloud Atlas ) also part of the management, along with Eugene Koh and Clayton Heinz.
“In association with renowned producer Grant Hill, we have spent the past three years acquiring and developing an impressive and varied slate of films and television series as we looked for a well-funded production partner that shared our vision for creating high quality filmed entertainment,” said Davidson. “FilmHedge is that partner.”
