UPDATED OCT 30, 2018

Two passionate young men with an immense love for movies decide to write a screenplay and get it made. We might as well be narrating the story of how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck became the blue-eyed boys of Hollywood with ‘Good Will Hunting,’ but we are not.

We are speaking of Prem Singh and Michael Pugliese, the stars of the upcoming film ‘Tiger.’ 

The friends who met each other in an acting class “many, many years ago” were tired of looking for gigs in Toronto. Prem, who is of Indian descent was done with the stereotypical brown man roles that came his way. The duo decides to change the narrative by writing a screenplay like no other, a story with universal appeal.
