Rowland
Perkins (co founder of Creative Artists Agency) together with Sterling
Lord and Jody Hotchkiss are promoting and marketing a feature film inspired

film rights reverted back to Sterling Lord Literistic after Film Fours
financial upheaval last summer, Mr. Perkins, executive producer of the
feature film, feels we have an excellent opporunity to create a studio
