It was announced today that veteran film producer Paul Schiff is
joining forces with Hollywood Studios International (OTCBB: HYWS),
a media holding company headed by Chairman & CEO Steven Saxton,
in a comprehensive deal that includes bringing in material and
projects through his Paul Schiff Productions and coming aboard
Hollywood Studios International projects already in the pipeline.
The first project coming to Hollywood Studios International
through Schiff is the heist film "Masterwork," which Jon Amiel
("Entrapment," "Copycat") is directing from a screenplay by Marc
Gottleib ("Joust"). Schiff and Tai Duncan are producers along with
Saxton.
Less than a year old, Hollywood Studios International has
already made a sizeable footprint in the independent landscape
having executive produced, as its debut film project, the breakout
hit "The Kids Are All Right," one of the most critically acclaimed
films of the year and winner the 2011 Golden Globe® for Best Motion
Picture - Musical or Comedy as well as Best Performance by an
Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy (Annette Bening).
Recently nominated for four Oscars®, including Best Picture, the
film was produced in association with Artist International (a
Hollywood Studios International company) and executive produced by
Steven Saxton.
Schiff has made a name for himself as one of Hollywood's most
accomplished producers, responsible for over 28 films that have
achieved both critical and commercial success throughout his
career. Some of the films produced by Schiff include "Rushmore,"
"Maid in Manhattan," "Solitary Man," "Mona Lisa Smile," "My Cousin
Vinny," "Walking Tall," "The Vanishing" and "Young Guns I &
II," to name a few.
Commented Schiff, "The beauty of the deal is that I will be
working on Hollywood Studios International's slate at a
macro/strategic level, and also focusing on select projects as a
producer to help ensure that the production process is well managed
and designed to foster a healthy, creative environment for
filmmakers."
In this newly created role, Schiff will work closely with HSI
Films President Eric Christenson as well as the Artist
International team led by Joel Newton and Dave Brown. Joining
Schiff at Hollywood Studios International is Tai Duncan, Senior
Vice President of Production at Paul Schiff Productions.
"We're excited to welcome Paul to the Hollywood Studios
International family," said Chairman & CEO Steven Saxton.
"We've planned on expanding operations and bringing in highly
respected and talented people. In building the Hollywood Studios
International team, our aim is to surround ourselves with
executives who are as passionate as they are skilled in their
respective fields. We have an elite producer and true leader in
Paul. As we gear up for what we believe will be a major growth year
for the company, we're entrusting Paul to build the foundation of
our ambitious film slate. Paul's track record speaks for itself. He
is one of the best in the business and is the ideal partner for
us."
In "Masterwork," an art thief plans his perfect heist -- his own
masterwork -- in the newest and most secure museum in the world,
the new Louvre Abu Dhabi. The spurned woman who knows him better
than anybody and the Interpol agent who has made it his life's work
to catch him, launch their own plan to bring him down, while
preventing the theft of the most famous painting in the world: the
Mona Lisa.
Additional details on the film will be announced in the coming
weeks.
