Lumina Information

Founded by acclaimed producer and entrepreneur Thomas Benski, Lumina is a future-focused, well-capitalized media group designed to support and grow companies in the modern media and consumer landscape where talent, IP, and brand are multipliers. Combining the resources of a global studio with an investment platform, Lumina empowers talent and founders to move from service to ownership, building category-defining brands. Organized into four verticals—Talent-Driven Studios, Production, Kids & Family, and Consumer—Lumina has already partnered with major creators like Omar Sy and Louis Leterrier through Carrousel Studios, led by CEO Cecile Gaget, and Yann Demange’s Wayward Films (’71, Top Boy). In Kids & Family, Lumina has backed Creators Corp. (2023 WEBBY winner) and Strike (BAFTA winner). The company has also invested in consumer brands like Metier, DAACI and just closed on their biggest investment to date on a globally recognized activewear brand soon to be announced. Lumina also launched Magna Studios, a multi-disciplinary production studio led by Marisa Clifford and Davud Karbassioun, which has rapidly scaled projects across branded content, documentaries, and scripted films.
