About Joel Pilger
Hi, I’m Joel. I advise the world’s leading independent studios: names like Cream, Giant Ant, Laundry, Mighty Nice, Polyester, Sarofsky, STATE, Versus, and hundreds more big and small.I lead the movement of studios mastering the art of running a strong business.My own entrepreneurial journey began when my first feature film, Cosmic Battles, grossed $13 at the box office. Tickets were just 7¢ each. I was 12 years old.In the 1990s, I launched Impossible Pictures and helmed it for 20 years. I wore every hat: 3D animator, Flame artist, editor, creative director, cinematographer, director, and president—plus janitor, bookkeeper, head of sales, you name it. The team grew to 25, we grossed over $40M, won awards, and had a blast.After exiting, I invested a decade consulting studios and production companies in 40+ countries worldwide.In 2024, I quit consulting to return to my roots as a founder. That’s when I launched FORUM: a community where studio founders and their businesses thrive, together.Want to join us? Here’s how: 1. Get your Studio Strength Score™ 2.
