The Relationship

Title by title, with an operator’s discipline.

While on a trip to Atlanta for PrizePicks, AG met Beau Turpin, executive producer at Bluestone Entertainment. After discussions about projects in Bluestone's pipeline, AG decided to get involved, becoming a co-producer of Nuremberg, which was critically acclaimed on its initial release and grossed more than $70 million worldwide at the box office, and later of Thumb.

Bluestone was founded by Richard Saperstein, whose career at New Line Cinema, Artisan and Dimension spans everything from Seven to The Mist. Based in Los Angeles, it deliberately keeps its slate short, developing, financing and producing a handful of titles at a time, anchored by a ten-film pact with Hungarian partners. Nuremberg launched that agreement, and its success carried into awards season with six BAFTA longlist places and two Academy Award shortlist spots.
