Our Team: David E. Ornston, producer. His COVID-delayed action comedy, “The Comeback Trail,” starring Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Tommy Lee Jones, Zac Braff, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Emile Hirsch, is set for its US release this winter. David also has an action film, “Paradox Effect,” shot in Italy with Olga Kurylenko and Harvey Keitel, releasing in September. May Leung, producer, and VFX supervisor, has finalized the look of TIGER.
The Tiger’s Boxer is named after Burkitt’s lymphoma, known as the tiger’s disease, for how quickly it takes over the body. TIGER is a 2D/3D hallucination that represents Alex’s cancer. Only Alex can see TIGER as they battle throughout the film for Alex’s survival. May has previously been the VFX supervisor for “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the effects supervisor for “Inception” and “The Dark Knight Rises,” among other blockbuster films. Attached is a glimpse of the Tiger’s look.
Jane Schinasi, Writer/Director. Jane has directed 12 documentaries and the 18-minute awarded short “The Tiger’s Boxer,” which David fell in love with to help this amazing journey. In addition to film work, Jane is deeply committed to helping children with cancer through the French non-profit organization HUG BACK (https://www.hugback.fr/Hugback/).
HUG BACK teaches boxing and meditation to teenagers and children with cancer in two French hospitals, offering them strength and resilience in their fight. This initiative has garnered the support of professional boxers such as John Dovi.
Jane’s dedication to this cause aligns perfectly with the “Tiger’s Boxer” message, further enriching the film’s mission and impact.
The aim is to expand these actions to hospitals in the US. Buddha-Bar in Paris has offered to throw the premiere and party for the European release / There will also be a US premiere and party. Located on the famous Champs-Élysées, Buddha-Bar is one of the most iconic venues in Paris, known for its exotic ambiance and opulent décor. The production continues to thank eoFlix.com (Entertainment Oxygen) for their continued support.
