THE CREW (PRINCIPAL)

CHRISTIAN PICHLER (WRITER/DIRECTOR)

Christian Pichler on set with Peter Gallagher

I was born and raised in Austria/Europe. Ever since I was a little kid I was fascinated with film and creativity, which led to the fact that I started helping out at local TV stations around Austria, Germany and Italy and also started filming my own first short films at age 14. After finishing my college degree and duty as austrian citizen in the military I moved to Los Angeles in 2001 to pursue a creative career. Within those years I was able to gain knowledge around film production and distribution working in various positions as Production Assistant, Grip, Camera Assistant, Assistant Director, Associate Producer, Producer and Director. I also directed various shortfilms which I wrote and produced with very very limited budget.

It was important for me to make a film with no budget that would look like a film with money attached. I taught myself and had great mentors and filmmakers around me for years to develop a thinking away from the typical Hollywood Blockbuster mentality where a cup of coffee would cost $ 20.000 because somewhere along the line $ 100 Mio need to be spend although Hollywood films could be done for 1/10 of that cost.

Since 2003 I was working on the concept and story of SPHINX. But even though it was read by several people and got great feedback, I was unable to truly generate some sort of funding to make this film. So this is my try to reach out to the world, film-lovers and people that just want to be part of something great to help me and my team make this film.

No matter where in the world you are, who you are and/or what you do, with a small contribution you will be an active member and supporter on this film, will know all details to it and in the end your name will be in the credits of the finished film.

PETER HOLLAND (DIRECTOR PHOTOGRAPHY)

A native of London/UK, Peter has worked successfully in his home of Sydney/Australia for the past 15 years as cinematographer. We are trying to achieve a similar look that would exceed his last project as cinematographer which was picked up for a theatrical release.
