Los Angeles, U.S. – The Leverest platform provided its full-cycle process management and workflow tools for Oaktree’s financing of its acquisition of FilmRise and subsequent merger with existing portfolio company Shout! Studios to form Radial Entertainment, a newly created global content distribution platform.

Radial Entertainment brings together the distinct strengths of FilmRise and Shout! Studios — two leading independent film and television companies — combining deep expertise across digital streaming, production, and multi-platform distribution. The merger enhances Radial’s capabilities across both scripted and non-scripted content and creates one of the most comprehensive independent libraries in the market.

Oaktree originally invested in Shout! Studios in 2023 and has continued to support the company’s strategic vision to grow its content portfolio through acquisitions and partnerships. With the formation of Radial Entertainment, Oaktree deepens its commitment to the media and entertainment sector by building a unified platform designed to scale in the evolving digital content landscape.

Salem Partners acted as the exclusive financial and investment banking advisor to Oaktree and Shout! Studios.

At Leverest, we are proud to power seamless and efficient debt financing processes for leading investors and their portfolio companies.

We congratulate Oaktree, Radial Entertainment, Salem Partners, and all parties involved on the successful transaction.
