Mr. Stephenson founded Rave Motion Pictures with BV Investment Partners in 1999.  He was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Rave from 1999 until 2009.  At the end of 2009, Mr. Stephenson and his senior management team formed a company, Rave Cinemas, with new equity sponsorship to acquire and build cinemas.  The management team at Rave Cinemas continues to run the operations at all of the Rave Motion Pictures’ theaters.

BV Investment Partners has enabled Rave Motion Pictures to grow from a start up to an industry leading exhibition  circuit.  Our growth and position of leadership in the industry, would not have been possible without their analysis, insight, and support. Their embrace of trends in building stadium theaters, converting to all digital, and embracing the 3D revolution show their financial acumen and forward thinking posture.  They are a pleasure to work with and their financial and equity counsel has been invaluable.”
