Lighthouse Pictures has upped production VP Jameson Parker to CEO, Variety has learned.

Former CEO and co-founder Jamie Goehring is staying on to oversee day-to-day operations while Parker will be tasked with expanding the company’s production pipeline and moving into new markets.

The news comes after Vancouver-based Lighthouse was acquired by Martini Film Studios in April.

Parker, who has worked with Goehring and Shawn Williamson, co-founder of Lighthouse Pictures and founder of Brightlight Pictures, for nearly a decade, has produced titles including “It Lives Inside” (QC Entertainment/Neon), Sundance feature “Summer of ‘84” (Gunpowder & Sky) and the most watched cable movie of 2022, “Three Wise Men and a Baby” (Hallmark). He has also worked on “Julie and the Phantoms” (Netflix), upcoming “Borderline” (LuckyChap / Red A Entertainment) and Lea Thompson series “Chicken Sisters” (MarVista and Hallmark).

“I am very grateful for the trust that the team at Lighthouse have placed in me,” Parker said. “I am looking forward to working with Gemma and Jamie as we build upon the phenomenal work that Lighthouse has done to this point. It’s an incredible opportunity to enrich and expand the company’s brand – I couldn’t be more excited.”

Martini Film Studios founder and CEO Gemma Martini said: “Part of the strategy when acquiring Lighthouse Pictures was to expand the scale and scope of the productions we will produce across Canada. With Jameson taking on the role of CEO, Jamie Goehring will focus his efforts on expanding the production slate, whilst continuing to work alongside Jameson on the day-to-day operations of service production for clients with our highly acclaimed production teams here in Vancouver.”
