HUGO PÉREZ

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Born in Puerto Rico, Hugo moved to Chicago at an early age with his educator parents. He is a 2006 graduate of Northwestern University with a Masters in Communications and between 1995 and 2000, Hugo was an Emmy-Award winning associate producer with NBC Network News. As a field producer covering breaking news stories across the country, he produced work for national news broadcasts including NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, the Today Show, Dateline, MSNBC and msnbc.com. Recently, his latest foray into the creative arts – film making – saw him work with a team of creative artists as executive producer of the 2008 short film, GRANDE DRIP, which has been featured in a number of film festivals and has won numerous awards. In 2010 he began production on two new short films, KNIGHT TO D7 and LADY OF THE EVENING, both dramatic narratives.

Heart disease, mental illness and cancer have all played roles in Hugo's life. For this reason he has not only worked as a professional in the non-profit world, bringing awareness to these causes, but he has also volunteered in fundraising walks, public service campaigns and other opportunities. Working on a film focusing on cancer is particularly important for Hugo who lost his father to brain cancer five years ago.

EMILY MOSS WILSON
PRODUCER

Originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Emily’s dreams of working in Hollywood seemed lofty to everyone but her. Emily graduated top of her class from Texas Christian University in May of 2005 with a degree in film production and theatre. While at TCU, Emily landed summer internships in Los Angeles at Davis Entertainment and NBC, as well as produced a number of short films, including a documentary that won a regional Emmy Award.

Emily got a job right out of college at 20th Century Fox Television in comedy development  where she had the pleasure of working on such shows as HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, THE WINNER, and MISS/GUIDED.  Emily moved over to feature production where she worked as feature film coordinator for Fox Studios, followed by positions as Assisstant VFX Coordinator on the summer blockbuster WOLVERINE and script coordinator for New Line's romantic comedy, VALENTINE’S DAY.  As someone who lost both grandfathers to different types of cancer, she truly feels blessed to be a part of this project because film gives us the incredible power to educate, empathize, and raise awareness.

GREG WILSON
WRITER/PRODUCER

Raised in Indianapolis, Greg went to Taylor University to study Zoology, but soon realized that making movies was the life for him. Armed with a degree in Biology, Greg headed out to Hollywood to take his chances. Through the LA Film Studies Center, he landed an internship with legendary writer/producer/director Garry Marshall.  The internship led to full-time work as Garry's assistant on the film, GEORGIA RULE. After the film, Greg moved up to become the Director of Development and Casting at Henderson Productions, where he has produced and edited three pieces for Retirement Living TV and co-created a reality pilot with Garry that is currently being shopped. More recently, Greg and his wife, Emily, worked on the movie VALENTINE'S DAY as both cast and crew.

In 2008, Greg also served as a producer of the short film, GRANDE DRIP, which went to ten film festivals and won multiple awards. His goal is always to produce movies that will leave people better off than when they walked into the theater. That is something he hopes to accomplish with KNIGHT TO D7. Greg lost his grandmother and great-grandmother to cancer and feels humbled to work on a project that allows him to honor them.
