Our Story
If you build it,
they will come.
History
Good Mate Entertainment Group™ was founded by Josh Thomas Richards in 2019 with the ambition of building high-end, original screen IP outside the modern constraints of traditional funding and production models.
From the outset, the group was designed as a financially sustainable umbrella structure to incubate creative ideas, test operating models, and develop high-end media production capability. Our first operating venture was Trawler Fish (2019–), established as a creative and commercial services studio. It provided a foundation for execution, revenue generation, and the refinement of independant operating systems.
In 2023, GMEG™ launched All Too Human Pictures as a dedicated screen label. Through this label, the group developed ROT (2026), an independently produced horror feature designed to test end-to-end authorship, micro-budget production, and alternative distribution strategies. jtR For Sale began developing
in 2024 as a separate platform for artworks and independent cultural output, formalising the seperation between individual practice and group-owned IP.
The long term objective our group is the launch of Good Mate Movie Studio, a fully realised Australian film studio focused on the development, production, and ownership of original, franchise-capable screen IP. This would likely be supported by an elaborate Australiana cinematic universe theme park and resort, placing the Australian entertainment industry at the top of the international food chain.
We’re making offers that you cannot refuse.
Approach
Each project is developed with a long-term view, prioritising durability, relevance, and ownership over short-term outcomes.
GMEG™ operates as a vertically integrated group, allowing creative control to be maintained while multiple projects are developed in parallel. This structure supports continuity, consistency, and the compounding of value across an expanding body of work.
GMEG™ works across development, production, and cultural engagement, combining private capital, patronage, and independent financing to support projects that are commercially disciplined and culturally ambitious.
A theatrical entertainment company delivering the most beautiful, glorious, seriously incredible
big-screen experiences you’ve ever seen. Nobody does it like this, nobody, tremendous scale,
dominance, total dominace, everyone knows it, you know it, that’s why you bought a hat.
