GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Add a small reminder of meaningful movie history to everyday drives with this Participant Media car coaster. The company began in 2004 as Participant Productions and became known for entertainment tied to social issues, with films such as Syriana and Spotlight among its recognizable releases. It also explored television and digital media through ventures including Pivot and TakePart. For collectors, this practical accessory recalls a two-decade chapter in independent entertainment and the stories that encouraged audiences to look beyond the screen.
Founded in January 2004 in the United States by Jeffrey Skoll as Participant Productions, the company set out to make commercially viable entertainment connected to social issues. Its early slate included American Gun, Syriana, North Country and An Inconvenient Truth. In March 2008, it changed its name to Participant Media to reflect expansion into television and other media. The company developed film, television and digital projects, and created the TakePart website and Participant Television division. In 2013, it launched the Pivot cable channel and Participant PanAmerica, a division for Spanish-language film production. In 2015, David Linde became CEO; that December, Participant joined Steven Spielberg, Reliance Entertainment and Entertainment One in creating Amblin Partners. Participant acquired digital brand SoulPancake in 2016, while Pivot and TakePart closed that year. In 2017, it earned B Corp certification and partnered with Lionsgate on international film distribution. Its films included Green Book and Spotlight, which won Best Picture Academy Awards. On April 16, 2024, Skoll announced that Participant would cease operations after two decades, ending development of new content and dismissing nearly all staff.
