Meet the Team

The producers are Peter Foldy and BL Fleischer. They have produced over a dozen films together across several states, mostly for Lifetime. They are big believers in community-driven production and are hoping to make St Joe their new home for many films.

Producer
Born in Budapest, Peter Foldy spent his formative years in Sydney, Australia. After a family-move to Toronto, he began composing music and was soon signed to a record contract. His first single, “Bondi Junction” reached number one on the Canadian music charts. After a successful decade as a recording artist on labels such as EMI, Polydor and RCA, Peter began his career in film production, directing a number of productions and working with Jan-Michael Vincent, Maxwell Caufield, Beverly D'Angelo, Peter Coyote, Daniel Baldwin, Joe Pantiolano, and Eugene Levy.

Producer
Born in Oklahoma, BL "Duke" Fleischer grew up awestruck with movies and television. He has always had a passion for entertainment and followed that passion through music until 2008, when he decided to focus on film. Duke started his journey in filmmaking learning the logistics and technical side of the industry. He then set his sights on cinematography and special effects, studying under Academy Award winner Gray Frederickson (“The Godfather”.) In 2017, Duke started his own production company, RcR Cinema, and has produced movies for Lifetime , Hallmark and Showtime.

Writer/Director
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Brandon's credits include the Showtime film A Thousand Little Cuts (starring Star Trek: The Next Generation's MARINA SIRTIS and Eureka's COLIN FERGUSON), thriller Black Bags (starring Smallville's LAURA VANDERVOORT and High School Musical's OLESYA RULIN) as well as the TV shows HAVEN and HOUDINI & DOYLE.
Brandon is also the co-author of WILLIAM SHATNER's latest book, Boldly Go.
