Paul Wilson

Producer/Actor

If Paul looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen him in films such as Big Stone Gap next to Whoopi Goldberg and Ashley Judd, or The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It alongside Vera Farmiga and Paul’s younger brother Patrick. Paul also played President Nixon in the Showtime original series The First Lady starring Michelle Pfeiffer and recently filmed the HBO Max series Duster produced by J.J. Abrams.

Not content as an in-demand actor, Paul turned his hand to producing the independent horror/comedy Deer Camp ‘86 starring Noah LaLonde, which premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and was recently picked up for distribution.

Paul has a slate of films in various stages of development and is always looking for investors who want to create fun films that turn a profit.

Robert Kerr

Writer/Director

Rob is a Scottish-born filmmaker who has produced Superbowl spots, won an Emmy, and written a novel that's in development for the big screen. A storyteller at heart, Rob has worn many hats over the years from screenwriter to director, production designer to title animator.

Over the years Rob has been lucky enough to learn from veteran filmmakers like Barry Markowitz (Slingblade, The Apostle), Jim Henson Studios, and the Creature workshop at Stan Winston/Legacy Effects.

Rob contributed to reshoots of the independent horror Deer Camp '86, on set design, screen graphics, and props, also being tasked to develop historic newspaper articles for the title graphics and ended up negotiating a deal with Hasbro to use their classic Simon game as an integral story element.

Rob lives in the Deep South where there are stars in the sky and magic in the air. And he is always looking for his next great collaboration.
