Trigger Street Productions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trigger Street Productions is an entertainment production company formed by Kevin Spacey in 1997. Its credits include Beyond the Sea, The United States of Leland and The Big Kahuna on screen, as well as stage productions of The Iceman Cometh and Cobb.
TriggerStreet.com, originally the URL for the company's online presence, was in 2002 relaunched as an online community for unrepresented screenwriters and short film directors (sponsored by Budweiser) and proved immensely popular in its first few years, with hundred of thousands of online users uploading their work, reviewing work by their peers and participating in online competitions and short film festivals. TriggerStreet.com was developed and launched by Spacey's business partner Dana Brunetti.
The name "Trigger Street" is a reference to an actual street in Spacey's boyhood home of Chatsworth, where Roy Rogers and Dale Evans (and Roy's horse Trigger) had their ranch. Spacey and his childhood friends dreamed of opening a neighborhood theater where they could stage their own "Trigger Street" productions.
