Caspian Entertainment

Background
This was a television subsidiary of Dandy Films, made to handle distribution of their catalog on cable. They would join forces with Western International Syndication to extend to broadcast affiliates. In 1995, Caspian expanded to produce original content, with Muriel MacPherson becoming the head of program development. The company produced shows for syndication, television films and low budget movies. Dunn and Ruth Dodd would later close Dandy after Jason Adderly sold his share in the company, this following a five year dormancy period. Richard Barton Lewis would briefly join the company in 2001 after the company avoided litigation for collecting Canadian funds in spite of not being established in the country. Following the financial failure of their first major production, Caspian filed for bankruptcy. Initially television and home media rights to their library were controlled by Dembar-Mercury and Peace Arch Entertainment; Caspian sold syndication rights to Mercury Entertainment after their agreement with Western International Syndication ended. After Peace Arch filed for bankruptcy, home media rights were acquired in a joint agreement between Entertainment One and Passport Films, Dodd's current production company.
