EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/DIRECTOR
Gloria Morrison-
Gloria’s natural charm and straightforward business style led her from project to project. From working actress to young producer to becoming the owner of her own company, for 16 years, Unistar Pictures International Inc., where she produced over 15 films, and developed with major networks and Studios over 34 projects in full development. For three years she had a ‘first look’ deal with Hearst Entertainment -- Gloria had become the ‘go to’ producer when you needed the rights to true life stories. Spy Magazine called her the “Queen of True Stories”
Gloria started her film career as an actress at the age of five and she never looked back, with over seventy-five stage plays in leading roles and numerous guest appearances on episodic television. Such as Harper Valley PTA – with the recurring role of MAX – ‘“Auntie Mame” with Lucille Ball, “Alligator” with Robert Forester – “Happy Days”, “Dynasty”, “Here Come The Brides”, “Looking to Get Out” with Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight, Gloria and Jon built the “Annex” theatre on Sunset. Her vast resume of leads in legitimate stage include – “The Women”, Macbeth, “Calamity Jane”, “Othello” , “Cheaper By The Dozen”, “The Miracle Worker” – where Lucille Ball saw her and cast her in Mame. “The Robe”, others too numerous to mention..
At the height of her theatrical career, fate intervened and thus began her path to the role of a producer. She realized Sony was interested in getting into the Film business and approached them and said “You have the money – I have the projects & I will not leave until we have a deal”! Well, two weeks later she had a deal… the result was Sony’s first film “Midnight” with Lynn Redgrave, Tony Curtis, Rita Gam & Frank Goshen. The film was made for under a million but is still sold on their Sony Website and has sort of a cult following to it. Then of course now Sony Studios.
Gloria also headed up the Development and Acquisitions department for Echelon Entertainment & Echelon Studios. Where she was responsible for building a 6000 title library in 3 years. With sales from these titles Worldwide. Including Netflix, Starz Vongo, Google, Movie Link, \Cinema Now, EZ Takes, Universal Home Video, HBO, Warner Bros. Home Video, Lionsgate, Blockbuster, Wal-Mart, etc.
As an Independent Producer and President of Unistar International Pictures, she produced such projects as; ABC’s, FIRESTORM, starring Jill Clayburgh, Michael Gross & Le Var Burton (Producer), Sony’s first feature, MIDNIGHT, starring Lynn Redgrave & Tony Curtis (Producer & Executive Producer), CBS -, WHAT HAPPENED TO BOBBY EARL with Kate Jackson USA’S, CONTAGIOUS, starring Lindsey Wagner (Producer). Other mentionable credits are ABC’s, GROUND ZERO, (Producer), “TERROR AT SEA” for Fox Television in association with Helios Productions, Cable feature, RAGE, (Producer) as well as producing the small Independent feature, BEACH FEVER and more recently RGH/LIONS SHARE, LIGHT IN THE FOREST as Executive Producer.
Gloria has also been responsible solely for the Limited Platform release of over 12 films including In combination with the acquisition and distribution of these films, Unistar Int. Pictures theatrically releases films in select cities throughout the United States. Unistar Int. Pictures recent theatrical successes include, the charming family comedy Our Italian Husband starring Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Brooke Shields and Chevy Chase; the drama Wake starring “Queer as Folk’s” Gale Harold and featuring screen legend Martin Landau; and the romantic comedy Fish Without a Bicycle starring “Freddie” and “Beverly Hills 90210” star Brian A. Green.
One of Gloria’s greatest talents is the developing feature film scripts among these are: AT THE MOMENT “EL DESTINO” The Mexican “Roots” is her pet project – a twelve hour mini-series that the Mayor of Los Angeles stands behind with several top Hispanic talents attached. SECRET SONG – THE BILLY TIPTON STORY, Billy was setup at A&M Films with Dale Pollack and PolyGram, TIANANMEN was developed at MGM with Alan Ladd Jr.. She has also developed several projects such as “Bad Kitty” a funny horror film with Stan Winston attached for special effects, “THE GHOSTWRITER”, GAME OF KINGS, FIELDS OF FIRE and KID 58, as Executive Producer.
Ms. Morrison is also working on TRUE DETECTIVE (based on the magazine- where it was set up at USA Network), BAD KITTY, DEEP BLUE, TRUE STORY- THE MAGAZINE, BORDERGATE and her capstone project, EL DESTINO, the Mexican roots. All of which speaks to the strengths of Ms. Morrison’s ability to acquire and produce.
Gloria started her film career as an actress at the age of five - with over 45 stage plays in leading roles, Shakespeare to Musical comedy. She has also appeared in many episodic television programs in guest starring roles. Fate lead her into the role of Producer and owner of her own company. She considers her role of the mother of two boys her best production. She headed up the Development & Acquisitions side for RGH/Lions Share Pictures. She worked for Echelon Entertainment as President of Acquisitions and development and was a partner in Newmark/Echelon Entertainment Group - she is shepherding a number of new projects, which she will also Produce or Direct.
