The short version

Christopher Nolan is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2013 and Sep 2014: Ephesus Lighting, Inc. (Syracuse, NY — other technology — 2013–2014; $2.25M reported sold to 25 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Andrew Sussman (3 shared filings), Casper Amy (3 shared filings), Joseph Casper (3 shared filings) and Michael Lorenz (3 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Christopher. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 27 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 28 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.
