Relativity Media, LLC is an American independent media company founded in 2004 by Lynwood Spinks and Ryan Kavanaugh.[3] The company brokered film finance deals and later branched into film production and other entertainment ventures. The company was commercially successful prior to bankruptcy. In 2015, Relativity Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after lawsuits and missing loan payments.[4][5][6][7] The bankruptcy was noted as one of the most notorious in entertainment industry.[8] As a result, the company began selling off previously acquired films. Relativity Media reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy in March 2016,[9] but in May 2018 it filed for bankruptcy again.[10] The studio is now a wholly owned subsidiary of UltraV Holdings.[11]
