New York City-based producer Anthony Moody founded Indalo Productions to develop, finance and produce independent feature films. He left behind a successful career in finance to follow his passion for film. Moody’s first feature was 2005's Turning Green (starring Timothy Hutton, Alessandro Nivola, Colm Meaney) which he executive produced in association with Curbside Pictures. The film world-premiered at the 2005 Cinevegas Film Festival. He also produced 2005's Rock The Paint (original music by Wyclef Jean) which world-premiered at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. Both films are slated for domestic release this year.
Most recently, Moody produced Day Zero (starring Elijah Wood, Chris Klein, Jon Bernthal, Ginnifer Goodwin, Elisabeth Moss, and Ally Sheedy), which world-premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. The film was acquired by First Look Studios for North American distribution and released theatrically in January 2008. New Films International is handling foreign sales and distribution.
Since receiving his BA in Economics from Dartmouth College, Moody has been involved in all walks of finance and business life, from Institutional Equity Trading at Wall Street powerhouse Merrill Lynch, to strategic advisory services and development at Register.com, where he pursued and closed partnerships, investments, and corporate acquisitions. After earning his MBA in Entertainment Finance at NYU's Stern School of Business, Moody built a thriving consulting practice, offering strategic financial advice to angel investors and corporations, including a $500 million (sales) healthcare company.
Moody's participation in the arts began very early and includes several years of music and theater production and a lifelong association with the Howard Gilman Foundation, which actively supports dance, photography and film. Moody is also a member of the IFP Producers Group and has several other projects in various stages of development with producing partner Rob Malkani including Steam, One Four Seven Greenwich, and the noir classic Black Wings Has My Angel, with Elijah Wood also set as producing partner on the last.
Rob Malkani is a New York City-based film producer, screenwriter and director. In 2001, he formed CurbSide Pictures to finance and produce independent feature films. His first feature, which he co-wrote and produced, was the 2003 thriller Dot.kill directed by John Irvin (City of Industry, Hamburger Hill). The film was produced for $6 million and shot on location in Liverpool, England, and New York City. Rob’s follow-up production was the 2004 feature film Turning Green, an Irish coming-of-age comedy starring Timothy Hutton, Alessandro Nivola and Colm Meaney. The film shot on location in Ireland and New York City for a budget of approximately $1 million. After partnering with Indalo Productions in 2006, Rob wrote and executive produced the feature film Day Zero. The film stars Elijah Wood, Chris Klein, Jon Bernthal, Ally Sheedy and Ginnifer Goodwin in a character-driven drama that tells the story of three best friends in New York City who get drafted to serve in the U.S. military on the same day and have thirty days to come to terms with their fate. Day Zero premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007 and was released in theaters in January 2008. Rob is also producing the upcoming noir film Black Wings Has My Angel with his producing partner Tony Moody and Elijah Wood.
Rob started his professional life in the corporate world before making his way to the movies. He left a position as a Vice-President in the investment banking division of Credit Suisse in 2000 to pursue his passion for film. Prior to joining Credit Suisse, Rob was a corporate attorney at the prestigious New York law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Dartmouth College. Now a prolific screenwriter, Rob easily shifts gears between producing and screenwriting and he has completed several feature scripts that are at various stages of development and production. Steam, a psychological thriller about six people trapped in a steam room, is set to go into production in April 2008. In addition, Rob has written several big budget studio-type scripts in various genres including action, thriller, sci-fi and romantic comedy and he is currently polishing his first family fantasy film. He firmly believes that the only way a writer can truly grow is by pushing himself into new areas - a challenge he welcomes wholeheartedly.
Rob will make his directorial debut in 2008 on another script he wrote entitled One Four Seven Greenwich. The film is a dark, gritty, New York-set crime thriller in the vein of films like The Usual Suspects, Seven, Training Day and even The Godfather. One Four Seven Greenwich will be suspenseful and raw - a film that grabs you by the throat from the first frame and never lets go. At its heart the film explores themes of greed, friendship, betrayal, trust and the importance of family – and most importantly the destructive power of money as a decaying force among even the strongest of friendships. The film combines Rob’s lifelong love of the crime thriller genre with his real life experience in the worlds of both Wall Street finance and corporate law.
Rob is repped by The Gersh Agency, Zero Gravity Management and attorney Ken Weinrib.
