Acme Pictures

Acme Pictures was founded in 1998 by Perry Grebin and Michael Nigro. A dynamic and fruitful partnership, it boasts a combined experience of over 25 years in writing, producing and directing a wide range of 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. This has allowed it 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 and 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 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 (Double Identity, Derelict, KostabiWorld, Still Life, Dark Circles) is budgeted up to $10m, and aims to establish the company as an active independent studio.
