Acme Pictures was founded in 1998 by Perry Grebin and Michael Nigro. Joined by Denis Jensen in 2004, this dynamic and fruitful partnership is fueled by a combined experience of over 60 years in writing, producing and directing a wide range of film and video productions, including hit TV shows and award-winning films. The company’s mandate is to generate independent film and television that is both artistically rewarding and financially viable. In other words, to flourish creatively with integrity and economy in an industry not commonly known for either.

Acme’s broadcast pedigree spans award-winning landmark shows from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to Pop-Up Video, to the MTV hit Boiling Points, as well as network news and sports at CNN, ABC and CBS and original programming for NBC, Comedy Central, Trio, VH1 and TNT, among others.

While winning many awards to date for their earlier films, the original Acme team continues to produce high-quality big-screen material, including documentaries and well-written feature screenplays. Acme’s current slate of projects is budgeted from nearly nothing to $10m, and aims to establish the company as a flourishing independent studio.
