BIG SKY MOTION PICTURES is a fresh, vibrant company, balanced on one side by young energetic people with innovative ideas and on the other with veteran business-savvy executives with proven track records.
The greatest assets of any company are its personnel. Big Sky Motion Pictures' C.E.O. Mars Callahan is a living testament to that, having written, directed and packaged three films by the time he was twenty-eight years old. Most recently, Callahan independently created Poolhall Junkies starring Academy Award® winners Christopher Walken and Rod Steiger, and Academy Award® nominee Chazz Palminteri. The critically acclaimed film was nominated for best sports movie at the 2003 ESPY Awards®. As an actor, Callahan has appeared in films with some of the top box office stars in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks, Charlize Theron, Liv Tyler, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, James Garner, and Martin Short.
Callahan has the unique ability to generate and acquire properties that legendary actors vie to participate in. He directs, edits and oversees post-production. Mr. Callahan has a distinguished track record securing lucrative domestic theatrical and foreign distribution deals for his projects.
Overseeing the production and acquisition of music for Big Sky Motion Pictures is Rand Chortkoff. Mr. Chortkoff is a 30-year veteran music producer and a lifelong devotee of American roots, blues and R&B music. He is also the C.E.O. and founder of Delta Groove Productions, a record label that has established itself as the leader in west coast blues & roots music. His expansive knowledge of these genres combined with his keen ear make him an invaluable asset, as he's proven with a series of award-winning releases, both in the U.S. and abroad.
