We are very pleased to announce that after a period of development, the producers of "The PIG Theory" have decided to take the project to AFM where we will meet with the movers and shakers of the movie world! We have a meeting with a top Hollywood actress who is interested in our project (shhh...top secret) and with several excellent distribution companies eager to speak with us. Our goal is to establish relationships with sales agents and distributors who can help us reach our targeted audiences. We will be at AFM November 6-9, working hard to share our vision and make things happen. AFM is one of the top three film conferences in the world. We are fortunate to be a part of it, and we have already scheduled some important meetings at the event. Off we go! We are extremely fortunate to welcome the successful entrepreneur and world traveler Scott South to our team. Scott is the President of Stevens Water Monitoring Systems, Inc., which designs, manufactures and markets instrumentation to help protect property, save human lives, and improve operational efficiencies of the Earth’s ecosystem. Scott also worked for several years as the CFO of Hollywood Entertainment, where his love of film truly blossomed. Scott believes “The PIG Theory” is a uniquely appealing movie with as much heart as it has bite, and he can’t wait to see the finished product. In the meantime, Scott has taken regular meetings with the producing team to help focus our “Big Hair Audacious Goals” and streamline our efforts toward our target audience. He has been an invaluable addition to our team and he will be attending the AFM conference with us in a few weeks. Welcome Scott! Nathan became fascinated with the art of visual storytelling when he was given his first camera at the age of seven. By the time he entered film school, he had directed and shot 48 short films in and around his picturesque hometown of Portland, OR. Immediately upon receiving his degree in Film from Columbia College, he began working for James Cameron's 3D Production team, the Cameron Pace Group, as a member of the prestigious camera departments on such award winning films as HUGO, LIFE OF PI, TRON: LEGACY, and TRANSFORMERS, DARK OF THE MOON. As a Cinematographer, Nathan's work is emotionally engaging, eliciting a grounded, subconscious sense of strength. Though based in Los Angeles, Nathan regularly travels internationally shooting films, television, commercials and music videos. While a student of the digital age, Nathan still enjoys shooting and developing 70mm film in his free time. Nathan has been the Cinematographer (aka DP) on 5 feature films, close to 100 commercials, about 35 music videos, 10 documentaries, and over close to 200 short films. He is currently working on a feature film starring Sean Astin. WELCOME NATHAN! The PIG Theory is very happy to announce the Captain of our Ship, the Man at the Helm, the Head Cheese, our Director Mr. Rob Margolies! Rob is a writer, director and producer out of New York. He brings to The PIG Theory team particular experience in the romantic comedy genre, having completed the outstanding independent feature film, “She Wants Me,” starring Josh Gad, Hillary Duff, Charlie Sheen, and Kristen Ruhlin. It was Rob’s ability to direct a successful romantic comedy on an indie budget, his love of our script, and his belief that “The PIG Theory” can be a beautiful and successful film out of Portland, Oregon, that landed him the job. We believe Rob is a star on the rise, and a team leader. He has a clear vision for this project and will help us in producing, casting, promoting and finding distribution for the finished film. We are thrilled to have him. Take a peek at the trailer for “She Wants Me” here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMp4EGqGko8. Rob graduated from Chapman University with a BFA in Film Production in 2005. During his senior year, he was awarded a scholarship that entitled him to be mentored by the Oscar Winning Director William Friedkin (“The French Connection”, “The Exorcist”, etc). In 2009, Rob received the Alumnus of the Year award from Chapman University, honoring his accomplishments as a filmmaker. Rob’s first movie was “Lifelines” and stars Jane Adams (HBO’s “Hung”), Dreama Walker (“Don’t Trust the B— In Apt. 23”), Joe Morton (“Scandal”, “Terminator 2″), and Josh Pais (“Ray Donovan”). After winning several film festival awards at various festivals, it was purchased and distributed worldwide by Kanbar Entertainment. Rob’s third movie is “2br/1ba” and stars Alexa Vega (“Spy Kids”), Spencer Grammer (“Greek”), and Kathryn Morris (“Cold Case”). It was purchased by Lionsgate, and is scheduled to be released in 2015.
