Lost Colony Entertainment is an American-based film and television production company that was founded in 2001 by filmmaker Richard O'Sullivan.
In 2001, Lost Colony began development of a dark political comedy entitled How to Suck the Brain of a President's Daughter. Independent financing was raised; actors Anthony Stewart Head, Lindsay Felton, and Tanya Roberts were attached to star in the film; and Roddy Bottum (from the band Faith No More) came aboard to provide the musical score. However, before production began, the September 11 attacks occurred, and investors, sensitive to the controversial nature of the screenplay, pulled out, causing the project to be shelved.
In 2004, Lost Colony produced an independently-financed feature film entitled Communication Breakdown. The film's premise involved a faceless conglomerate taking over an indie radio station as the station employees struggled to maintain their jobs and their sanity. Described by director Richard O'Sullivan as a tribute to the John Hughes movies of the 1980s, the entire film took place over several hours ala The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. "I always wondered what it would've been like to follow the Brat Pack as they got older," said O'Sullivan. "To see them with real jobs in the real world but still trying to hold on to whatever it was that made them who they were."
In 2006, Lost Colony produced an unsold comedy pilot called Traveling Man. The following year, it produced a second pilot, this one a fantasy adventure, entitled Breach of Heaven. During this same period, it handled production for numerous music videos, including ones for such artists as Always Sunday (featuring Trent Dabbs), The Situationals, Rachel Merchand, Judson, Shawn Gallaway, and Randy Casey (formerly of P.J. & The Terrorists).
