Chariot Entertainment

Chariot Entertainment is an independent film and television production company founded in June 2017 by entertainment manager and producer Ahmos Hassan. Based in the Greater Los Angeles Area, the studio develops mainstream entertainment featuring authentic, multidimensional Muslim-American characters and Islamic themes. Its work seeks to broaden representation through commercially oriented stories that explore contemporary lives and cross-cultural relationships.

The company acquires, develops, finances and produces intellectual property across feature films, episodic television and theatrical stage productions. Its slate encompasses scripted and unscripted projects, original storytelling and literary adaptations. Production services include development, packaging and physical production, alongside creative direction, branding and marketing for original and acquired intellectual property. Cultural advisory and media diplomacy consulting also form part of its reported capabilities.

Productions and development

Chariot Entertainment co-produced Cash for Gold, an independent feature drama written by and starring Deborah Puette. Co-directed by Puette and Robert Enriquez, the film also stars Farshad Farahat and was released through Freestyle Digital Media in 2024–2025. Ahmos Hassan produced the film through the company.

The studio is also developing an episodic television adaptation of Samira Ahmed’s bestselling young-adult novel Internment. The story follows a young Muslim-American girl and her family, extending the company’s interest in adapting culturally grounded narratives for wider audiences.

At its 2017 launch, Chariot Entertainment announced a six-project development slate comprising three feature films and three television series. The films included a dark comedy and two dramas, while the television projects included two comedies and a drama. That initial mix reflects the company’s stated approach to exploring Muslim-American narratives across multiple genres and formats.
