Evangelo Kioussis

Evangelo kicked things off in the wild world of film finance when he launched Richmond Pictures back in mid-2020. Since then? The guy’s been throwing money at projects left and right—over 30 films now, which is honestly kind of wild. Not just small stuff either; we’re talking Oscar winners like The Brutalist. Before that, he set up Mirror Productions, and you gotta give him props for producing Crash Burn Love in 2016. That was Rob Sanders’ first foray into feature films after killing it in commercials. He didn’t just stop there. Vita and Virginia came next in 2019, which spun off from Dame Eileen Atkins’ stage play and had a killer cast: Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, and Isabella Rossellini. Then there was Adventures of a Mathematician in 2021—a German/UK/Polish thing about Stan Ulam, the math genius who literally helped Oppenheimer build the H-bomb. Not exactly light subject matter, but hey, someone’s gotta tell those stories. Right now, Evangelo’s deep in the trenches prepping Trespassers with director Vanessa Filho, who did Angel Face with Marion Cotillard. This one dives into the wild life of surrealist Lucy Schwob—she basically ran the longest resistance campaign against the Nazis in Occupied Jersey during WWII. On top of that, he’s juggling a bunch of co-productions: Skyline: Warpath with Matthew Chausse, Eyes in the Trees with Anthony Hopkins, and he just wrapped Jesse V. Johnson’s Chief of Station (starring Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko) and Christian Sesma’s Into the Deep with Richard Dreyfuss. Basically, Evangelo’s hustling nonstop, keeping the indie film scene on its toes.
