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 and reorganize Caspian as a general production company. Richard Barton Lewis would join Caspian in 2001. Following the financial failure of their first major film production, Caspian would file for bankruptcy. The company's catalog currently lays in the hands of Entertainment One and Debmar-Mercury; Mercury Entertainment would acquire television rights after the Western International Syndication deal expired, whereas Entertainment One would inherit the rights from previous holders Peace Arch Entertainment after they closed down.
