Endeavor-backed Asylum Entertainment Group has made a minority investment in Ladywell Films, an indie founded by The Tinder Swindler filmmakers Bernadette Higgins and Felicity Morris.

Higgins and Morris previously worked at London-based producer Raw TV where they also directed, wrote and produced Netflix’s American Nightmare.

While working separately at Raw, Morris developed and produced Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting An Internet Killer, while Higgins produced Fear City: NY Vs The Mafia and Pariah: The Lives And Deaths Of Sonny Liston on Showtime.

“Bernadette and Felicity are behind some of the most compelling and groundbreaking documentaries to date, giving voice to survivors of shocking crimes and resonating profoundly with viewers worldwide,” said Asylum CEO Steve Michaels.

“Our investment in Ladywell Films reflects the duo’s unrivaled talent and fresh perspective within this high-demand genre. They’re perfect partners as their talent mirrors Asylum’s mission to deliver high-quality, memorable content to a global audience.”

This latest deal for unscripted group Asylum deal follows its recent partnership with Tyler Perry Studios to develop and produce unscripted content, and its investment in DARE Pictures, the London prodco launched by Derren Lawford.
