Angel Studios, the independent distributor behind last summer's blockbuster “Sound of Freedom,” has raised more than $10 million to finance new films and television series.

With the new investment, the company aims to expand the Angel Guild, a community of 360,000 members that Angel Studios has enabled to greenlight the development and distribution of film and episodic content.

In addition to “Sound of Freedom,” a huge success with $250 million worldwide grosses, Angel Studios has backed the Biblical drama “His Only Son” ($13 million at the worldwide box office) and the faith-based biopic “Cabrini” (which grossed just $20 million worldwide against a $50 million budget).
