The John Ashu Company

Bolderie Marina is an International and Irish-British Media Coporation and Multinational mass media. This company is known for the Bolderie Media Universe.

History
This company first started as Thrower Entertainment until it was changed to Doorbell Media due to legal issues with Star Thrower Entertainment. After a few months later, the "Media" was changed to "Marina" since there's already a company called Doorbell Media. Months later, it was changed to it's current name Bolderie Marina as Bolderie felt that the name Doorbell no longer suited this company. In August 4, 2021, John agreed to sell 5% of Bolderie Marina to Fremantle,10% to Rainbow S.p.A, 5% to Amblin Entertainment and 10% to DreamWorks Animation.

Controversies
According to John Ashu, a lot of homophobic/transphobic people and moral guardians wanted his book Save the LGBT banned due to the depiction of LGBT people as innocent bystanders and friendly people while it depicts most Straight/cisgender people as racist and sexist by sending him death threats. This controversy later died out.
