Sue Bea Montgomery
Sue Bea Montgomery (born 1958) is an American film producer from Tulsa, Oklahoma. After serving as an associate producer on the 1999 Independent film '' Chillicothe'', she introduced the film's director Todd Edwards and his brother Cory Edwards to entrepreneur and inventor Maurice Kanbar, who had invested in the film. Kanbar agreed to finance the brothers to direct a computer animated film, based on a well known fairy tale, and they came up with ''Hoodwinked'', a unique retelling of ''Little Red Riding Hood''. To produce the film, Montgomery and Kanbar founded Kanbar Entertainment and Kanbar Animation in 2002. To save costs, the film's animation was produced in Manila, Philippines, which made it the first independent computer animated film to be produced in the Philippines. The film was also one of the first computer animated films to be completely independently funded. ''Hoodwinked!'' was released in 2005, receiving mixed reviews, and earning over $110 million worldwide. Mont ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
