Veritas Entertainment is an American independent film and television production company founded in 2014 that focuses on optioning IPs, particularly books, and developing them into fully packaged projects ready for production.[1][2]

The company is run by industry veterans Alan Gasmer and Peter Jaysen.[3] Alan Gasmer, a former senior agent at William Morris Agency was once described by Vanity Fair as "the King of Specs" for his role in the spec screenplay marketplace.[4] His contributions have led to the production of several major films, including Rush Hour, Soul Food, Cowboys & Aliens, Mouse Hunt, Empire Records, and NBC's Las Vegas.[5]

Peter Jaysen, with over three decades of experience in content creation and monetization across film, television, digital, and branded entertainment, is a media executive and Emmy-nominated producer.[6]

Jaysen, along with Gasmer, won the Producers Guild of America Award for Best Television Movie for Fahrenheit 451 on HBO in 2018.[7]
