Contact: Jeffrey “Blue Shark” Gliwa Blue Shark Pictures, LLC [email protected] San Francisco, CA: Jeffrey Gliwa, Blue Shark Pictures, Christopher Coppola and CRCoppola Enterprises just announced plans to build a high value, low budget film studio somewhere in the Bay Area, perhaps the Presidio, to be called Blue Shark Pictures, the name of Gliwa's company. This studio will be built in the architecture of Zoetrope, which was designed from inception to conception by Francis Ford Coppola. Expanding on the indie tradition established in San Francisco by Christopher’s uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, they will employ film students, to both save money and stimulate what could become an indie hub for filmmaking. The whole method of how we do everything is from the Roger Corman world of B- movies—genre based,” Gliwa explained. “A lot of what I do is about bringing independent film back to San Francisco,” Coppola said. “I have students working on professional productions all the time—learning by doing.” About Jeffrey Gliwa: Jeffrey Gliwa (known as “Blue Shark”) is an executive producer and founder of Blue Shark Pictures, LLC. He translated his talent for production and promotion into film fund raising ventures with a focus on introducing legacy talents to the industry.

Nevertheless, they just premiered their second collaboration as director and producer, “Torch”, a heist film involving Mayan curses, modern shamans and shot in the jungles of Belize.

A Pre-Christian Tradition Many practices associated with Halloween have origins in the pre-Christian, or pagan, religion of the Celts, the original inhabitants of the British Isles, as well as parts of France and Spain.

The legend of Hollywood began in the early 20th century and is an earmark of modern American society rich in history and innovation.
The origin of movies and motion pictures began in the late 1800’s, with the invention of “motion toys” designed to trick the eye into seeing an illusion of motion from a display of still frames in quick succession, such as the thaumatrope and the zoetrope. In 1872, Edward Muybridge created the first true “motion picture” by placing twelve cameras on a racetrack and rigging the cameras to capture shots in quick sequence as a horse crossed in front of their lenses.
