CONGRATULATIONS SINGAPORE CLASS of 2005! Tired of watching other people make movies and sell scripts for un-Godly sums of money? Mystified when it comes to film finance? Wonder what it would take to produce an indie film and then sell it at Sundance? Feeling left out of the creative loop because you don’t live in Hollywood? Don't worry; Hollywood is coming to you.
Perkins has 20 years of experience in film financing and distribution, sales, production and business planning. He successfully raised venture capital for his own distribution company, and oversaw in excess of $20 million in portfolio film projects for Universal Studios. He’s also been on the “other side of the table” – and sold four scripts to Hollywood - three of them based on a Pitch. He’s achieved success in various executive-level positions at both independent companies and major studios (Universal / Warner). Perkins has also co-produced a TV reality series called THE E-TEAM - coming to TV screens soon, in co-production Ricochet Television!
