Evoke Entertainment Closes $35 Million Production Financing Facility Backed By Major Private Credit Fund

May 30, 2026 - 00:59

Evoke Entertainment has finalized a senior secured production financing facility worth up to $35 million, backed by a large private credit fund with billions in assets. The revolving credit line is intended to support the company's growing slate of independent film and television projects.

The lender confirmed the deal to Deadline but requested anonymity, citing company policy. The arrangement gives Evoke access to capital on a revolving basis, meaning the company can draw funds as needed for production costs and repay them as projects generate revenue.

Evoke Entertainment has been building momentum in the independent space, and this facility provides a significant boost to its financial flexibility. The backing from a major private credit fund signals confidence in Evoke's business model and its ability to deliver projects on time and on budget.

Private credit funds have become increasingly active in entertainment financing, stepping in where traditional bank lending has tightened. This deal reflects a broader trend of alternative capital sources filling gaps in production funding. Evoke did not disclose specific projects tied to the facility, but the company is expected to use the funds to greenlight multiple features and series in the coming year.
