Richwater Films was a British film production and financing company and distributor, launched in 2013 by Jonathan Sothcott, which specialised in crime, thriller and action films. In 2016, Sothcott closed Richwater films after running up debts of more than £500,000; there were also accusations of theft, fraud and unpaid wages from workers and companies associated with him, which he denied.
