Captivate. Engage. Compel.
This Tiger has a lot of tales!
Philosophy
All of us at Silver Tiger Films believe entertaining motion pictures begin with a compelling story. No exceptions. An engaging movie can be funny, scary, silly, breath-takingly exciting, or all-of-the-above; but it must be built with characters and circumstances that we care about. All about the story.
Do you have a story to tell?
Tell us YOUR tale.

A good script is maybe, kinda, sorta, important:
“There’s nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.”
“Screenwriting is the most prized of all the cinematic arts. It isn’t, but it should be.”
“The script is what you’ve dreamed up – this is what it should be. The film is what you end up with.”
“Once you crack the script, everything else follows.”
“Making movies is 80% script and 20% getting great actors. There’s nothing else to it.”
“There’s no question that a great script is absolutely essential, maybe the essential thing for a movie to succeed.”
“The script, I always believe, is the foundation of everything.”
The moon?
Some of the awesome team we have at Silver Tiger Films on a recent work & play trip to Disney World. Grateful to have such fierce, yet fun tigers, and excited about the fantastic tales they will tell in the future.

About the job, the endeavor, the task, and yes, the “craft” of screenwriting:
“Being a good writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the internet.”
“One of the big things you have to learn is who to listen to and when; and you can’t listen to everybody.”
“It is better to write a bad first draft than to write no first draft at all.”
“I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn’t happen in real life is what I’m interested in, as a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I’m really interested in is people.”
“Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else’s.”
“The easiest thing to do on earth is not to write”
“I think about the audience in the sense that I serve as my own audience. I have to please myself that way, if I saw the movie in a theatre I would be pleased. Do I think about catering to an audience? No.”
Big Ideas fit for a Big Screen…or even for a small one.
Go ahead – grab a Tiger with your tale.
We dare you.
…but grabbing a tiger by his tail…not recommended.
