Biography

Anthony J. Cox grew up in the stark wilderness of rural Maine. While attending public school he soon discovered a passion for theater. By the time he graduated from High School Tony had held just about every position you can imagine in a theatrical production. He acted, directed, produced, did lighting design and board operation, sound design and operation, and even choreographed a dance for the Miss Ugly pageant. Immediately after graduation Tony began working at the Maine Center for the Arts on the University of Maine campus in Orono, Maine, where he later attended majoring in Theater. In 2000 Tony directed his first profession Theatrical production with his best friend and future business partner, Anthony M. Pizzuto. The two Tonys went on to produce show after show until the bright lights of the Big Apple beckoned Pizzuto. Cox's passion soon turned away from the stage to the more terminological story telling of film making. In 2004 Cox produced and directed his first short film, Hope's Edge. This cemented the idea in his mind that film making was his true calling. In 2007 Cox packed up a uHaul and heading South to reunite with his old friend Pizzuto in New York City and pursued a more direct route to the Oscar's stage in Hollywood.
