2007 Presenters (Authors, Agents, Editors & Producers)
Tina Canadian producer Tina Pehme believes in making feature films that engage, entertain and resonate with audiences the world over. Tina has recently completed the epic period romance Partition, a classic love story set against the 1947 British partition of India, a film she developed and produced with Sepia Films, a company she co-owns with producing partner Kim Roberts and Director Vic Sarin. Partition, directed and written by Sarin, follows the love story of Gian Singh (Jimi Mistry), a Sikh soldier and a Muslim refugee (Kristin Kreuk) during the tumultuous early days of Indian independence at the end of British Colonial rule. The film also stars Neve Campbell, John Light and Irrfan Khan. Also recently completed is the post 911 thriller Civic Duty starring Peter Krause and Richard Schiff and directed by Sundance Grand Jury nominee Jeff Renfroe, which Pehme and Roberts produced alongside Landslide Pictures. Civic Duty had the distinction of being the New York Post's #1 film pick at its world theatrical premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2006 and is slated for its North American theatrical release in early 2007. In 2004 Tina produced the touching romantic comedy Love on the Side, starring Jennifer Tilly, Barry Watson and Marla Sokoloff and Dave Thomas. Tina began her producing career when she joined Sepia as a partner in 1994. She has also worked with IMX Communications in the development and production of international feature film co-productions. Prior to this Tina was involved in the field of line production/production management in both the feature film and television genres in Canada, the US and internationally. Up next for Pehme & Roberts is the UK/Canada co-production A Shine of Rainbows, a magical coming of age story, based on the beloved novel by Lillian Beckwith slated to shoot in Scotland in spring 2008. Projects in development include the high-concept horror/action thriller Golem, the rock and roll drama James Dean Garage Band in partnership with David Ward (The Sting) and the action/adventure Jack of Diamonds in partnership with Force Four Productions (Human Cargo).
