Media Capital Technologies has hired Jordan Lichtman as chief operating officer and general counsel. In his new role, Mr. Lichtman will oversee MCT’s corporate operations, business and legal affairs. His responsibilities not only apply to the company, but also to the company’s expanding portfolio, including the newly launched distribution company Row K Entertainment and Eli Roth’s horror section.
Mr. Lichtman joins MCT after serving as general counsel at Artist Equity, Inc., where he was instrumental in procuring and negotiating major corporate, financial and content acquisition deals for the company founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. These include overseeing deals related to releases such as “The Accountant 2” and “Unstoppable” (Amazon), “Small Things Like These” and “Night Watchman” (Lionsgate), and “RIP” (Netflix). He previously spent nearly 10 years at STX Entertainment as Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Associate General Counsel, where he was instrumental in managing the company’s theatrical slate financing arrangements, corporate financings, and multiple cross-border transactions.
Mr. Lichtman began his career at O’Melveny & Myers and later became a partner at Mannatt, Phelps & Phillips, where he represented major studios, producers and financial institutions across the entertainment industry.
“We are excited to have Jordan join MCT at a time when all aspects of our business are growing,” said MCT principals Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh. “He has spent his career building forward-thinking entertainment companies, navigating both creative, financial and legal complexities with precision. His leadership and perspective will be invaluable as we continue to expand MCT’s presence across emerging areas of the production, distribution and media landscape.”
“MCT represents the next generation of entertainment companies that are agile, collaborative and built for an industry that is evolving every day,” said Lichtman. “I have spent the majority of my career growing and supporting creative businesses from a legal and strategic perspective, and I am excited to be part of this milestone in MCT’s growth. We have earned the trust of filmmakers, studios, investors and others alike. We have an incredible future ahead of us as we solidify MCT’s position as a top innovator in the entertainment space.”
MCT is a media and entertainment investment company founded in 2019. The company is backed by various institutional investors, including MassMutual. MCT has been Lionsgate’s primary co-financing partner since 2023 and has invested in 20 films with the studio, including “Ballerina,” “Flight Risk,” “The Long Walk” and “Saw X.”
In early 2025, MCT launched a horror section in partnership with iconic filmmaker Eli Roth. The media company’s upcoming projects include Roth’s The Ice Cream Man, which is scheduled for wide theatrical release in 2026, and Don’t Enter That House, Bitch!, which features Snoop Dogg as producer, original soundtrack writer and performer.
In August, MCT launched a new U.S. theatrical distribution company, Row K Entertainment. The 2026 slate includes Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire, Maud Apatow’s directorial debut Poetic License, and Jaume Collet-Serra’s Cliffhanger. Both MCT and row K are represented by CAA.
