Riveting Entertainment Becomes Global Trust Group's Newest Portfolio Company

LOS ANGELES - Dec. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- RIVETING ENTERTAINMENT, a market leader in music entertainment production, is changing the way top talent manages, creates, and monetizes unique content. The Company is simplifying the production process by taking an active role from beginning to end by co-owning and developing high quality content for distribution in the rapidly expanding global media markets.  The shift into this new model was funded in an investment round led by Global Trust Group's Global Media & Entertainment Fund and Global AIF II partners and advisors fund along with Ryan Blair’s Hashtag One fund.  The funding raised will provide working capital as RIVETING ENTERTAINMENT expands its market leadership and execution of expanding their already strong content and talent promotion product pipelines.

As one of the industry experts in music video production Riveting Entertainment is poised to emerge as a leader in content production and distribution.  Riveting Entertainment is disrupting the traditional model shifting from cost heavy and fragmented legacy production companies to a full service pre and post-production content development partner that creates value for both established and emerging industry talent. Andrew Listermann states “2015 has been an exciting and critical year of building with key partners like the Global Trust Group - 2016 will be a Riveting year”.  A key production emerging from the RIVETING ENTERTAINMENT platform is an extraordinary full feature length documentary on the life and times of music superstar Chris Brown, “Welcome to My Life”, planned for release in 2016.
