BJ Davis Bids Farewell to Beverly Hills Film Studios

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Founder and Creator of Beverly Hills Film Studios, Producer/Director BJ Davis, is departing Beverly Hills Film Studios to take the helm of a newly created company, Pear Mound Pictures, that will produce bigger budgeted films and television product for the market.

Davis is currently preparing a feature film for Hoboken Pictures entitled "Murder On The Hudson" to be shot in Hoboken, New Jersey later this year with Producers John D. Schofield and Anthony Falco, with an original story and screenplay by Michelle Landegraf and Julie Rice-Davis.

Davis created Beverly Hills Film Studios in late 2003 as a privately funded company, along with Hollywood icon, Producer John D. Schofield, known as the producer of Academy Award-winning films such as "As Good As It Gets," "Jerry McGuire" and "Ali."

Davis brought a variety of film projects to the Beverly Hills Film Studios and produced several of the company's current film slate. "It was truly a pleasure, creating a new company that already produced two wonderful films and is well on its way to becoming a viable commercial success. During my tenure with Beverly Hills Film Studios, we managed to employ well-known film stars as well as helped to get people started in their new careers. It has been a fulfilling experience," said Davis. The film library and properties Davis brought to the company will now return to him and his partners.

One of the films slated to be produced, "El Coyote," will be filmed as an internationally funded co-production written by renowned Mexican author and screenwriter Manuel Flores. Currently "A" list talent is being sought to finalize this very commercial package for Davis' new company, Pear Mound Pictures.

Davis originally greenlit the feature film "Dirty Love," which was well received by buyers and film critics at the Sundance Film Festival, starring Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra along with a host of other talented young actors.

Davis is finalizing post-production for the feature film comedy "Forget About It" that he produced and directed, starring Burt Reynolds, Raquel Welch, Michael Paloma, Charles Durning and Robert Loggia. The picture is to be released at the Cannes Film Festival.

In assuring the company's success, Davis utilized his track record as a bondable and bankable film director coming from the ranks of Academy Award- winning directors Oliver Stone, Clint Eastwood and television Emmy Award- winning directors such as Arthur A. Siedelman.

BJ Davis is very proud of Beverly Hills Film Studios as part of his colorful history in the film industry, having started his career as a Hollywood Stuntman, doubling five Academy Award Winners: Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Tommy Lee Jones, Michael Cane and Art Carney, inducted into the Hollywood Stuntman Hall of Fame and still holding two world records. BJ Davis can now add "successfully running a company" to the long list of his achievements.
