A global independent entertainment studio with operating hubs around the world including Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, the Middle East, and London, focused on developing, financing, and producing premium content with cultural impact and global appeal. SKG has a library of over 100 critically acclaimed feature films and has collaborated with top-tier talent to create mind-provoking, heart-stirring and award-winning content for film, television, and digital media. In March 2017, Ivanhoe merged with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based production-finance company, to create SK Global, a new company which produces and finances film and TV projects globally. Backed and co-founded by Sidney Kimmel (Jones New York) and Robert Friedland (Ivanhoe Mines), the venture is overseen by John Penotti, seasoned President and producer who has led companies such as GreeneStreet Films, Ivanhoe Pictures, and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment (SKE). SK Global has retained the labels "Sidney Kimmel Entertainment" and "Ivanhoe Pictures" in their respective markets.
