Gold Tree Studios, a subsidiary of Gold Tree, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This comes as a shock to many, given the company’s successful procurement of $1 billion in financing earlier this year.
What Happened: Gold Tree Studios had secured a massive $1 billion in financing from Malka Group in March. The funds were earmarked for the expansion of the studio’s production capabilities. However, a mere nine months later, the company has found itself filing for bankruptcy.
According to the report by Business Insider, the bankruptcy filing, which was submitted in a federal California bankruptcy court, reveals that the firm holds between $100,000 and $500,000 in assets and between $1 million and $10 million in liabilities. The specific reasons behind Gold Tree Studios’ financial difficulties have not been disclosed.
Gold Tree Studios, headquartered in West Hollywood, provides editing suites, 360-degree sound stages, and color grading services. The company was also linked to an upcoming film featuring renowned actors Al Pacino and Jessica Chastain.

The silence from Gold Tree and Malka Group only adds to the uncertainty, leaving industry insiders and investors in suspense as they await further developments.
