It was my intention (and still is) to put together a diverse group of film makers that are from ALL walks of life. From people with years in the biz or people that have honed their skills at school's like Full Sail, U.S.C., N.Y.U... etc.. etc.. and have yet to break in. This unit is a family and through thick and thin we are all here for one thing. To make movies. I can't think of anything that I (or the people surrounding me these days) would rather be doing. We are writers, directors, actors, producers, set design/builders, hair and make-up, special f/x and prop makers. We are Cliffhanger Studios. We are one.

I must say i'm amazed, you guys have done a great job and really captured my vision.

The Crew

• 

  Sean Patrick Kennedy Hill
  
  President
  
  After a five year hiatus (2005-09) Sean began acting again in 2009 with P.P.T.O.P.A. and earned a lead in "Bye Bye Birdie" paying Albert Peterson. He then followed it up with a 2nd stage lead as Jeff Douglas in "Brigadoon". Most recently he won the high stakes roll of a lifetime playing Sky Masterson in "Guy's and Dolls" to finish out 2010. Sean has taken this new found inspiration and built Cliffhanger Studios from the ground up bringing a sound stage facility to the Hollywood/Hallandale Fl. area. This Studio will create jobs and real foundations for South Floridian film careers.
