Allied Filmmakers was a British film production (and finance) company, founded by Jake Eberts in London in 1985. It was a version of how Eberts originally intended Goldcrest Films to operate. In 1992 Chargeurs, who already owned Pathe, acquired 80% of Allied Filmmakers. After the closure of the company, Pathé held the rights to most of the companies output with a few exceptions.[citation needed] Eberts later founded a company called Allied Film.
