Jonathan Sothcott is one of the UK's most experienced and successful independent producers with an enviable track record of success with high concept, low budget genre films. Described by GQ Magazine as "a film producer behind a whole new generation of on-screen hardmen" he is recognised as a pro-active, forward-thinking entrepreneur both in the film industry and the wider business community. A 2021 Sothcott profile piece in The Telegraph noted his movies "have saved our film industry."

By the time he was 24 he was the youngest television executive in the UK as Director of Programming for The Horror Channel on Sky, before switching gears to feature film production. His first film, Stalker, was directed by regular collaborator Martin Kemp, the first in a series of important talent relationships Sothcott would curate. Over the years Sothcott has worked with a galaxy of stars including Ray Winstone, Danny Trejo, Lee Majors, Mark Hamill, Jason Statham, Michael Paré, Steven Berkoff, Richard E Grant, Charlie Cox and Sir Roger Moore.

Notable successes amongst his 40+ feature credits include Vendetta (the number 1 UK indie film of 2013), the cult We Still Kill The Old Way series, Eat Locals and Renegades. In 2014 he closed a landmark deal with Starz to produce 4 films per year for their UK division.

He set up Shogun Films in 2020 as a genuine international counterpoint of independence amongst the gargantuan studios and streamers and the company has won a slew of awards recognising it's trailblazing approach. Shogun Films has offices in London, England and Metropolitan Atlanta.

He is married to the actress Jeanine Nerissa Sothcott.
