One specific mandate for me currently is looking for films that can shoot in the state of Virginia (or, if not specific to Virginia, "Anywhere USA"). Those falling into the 2 Million and Under category, even better. However, that is just one column for what I am seeking and I am quite open-minded these days to projects that ideally have a level of commercial potential and where there are meaningful packaging opportunities on the talent and filmmaker side.
Known for championing talent, Bobby Hoppey has over a decade of experience in film and television development. Bobby’s executive experience includes indie finance shops Complementary Colors, Valparaiso Pictures, and Echo Lake Entertainment where he oversaw their respective in-house project slates.
His past producorial credits include Neon's PIG starring Nicolas Cage (streaming on Hulu), and the LGBTQ rom-com STRAIGHT UP - both Independent Spirit Award nominees. His latest film, the subversive coming-of-age comedy GRIFFIN IN SUMMER, is expected to be released later this year and recently won the U.S. Narrative Competition Prize at the 2024 Tribeca Festival.
Bobby currently has a number of feature projects in development through his new production shingle, Coveside Films. He holds a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Corporate Communications from Elon University.
