Trevor Macy is Co-CEO of Intrepid Pictures, which he founded with Marc Evans in 2004.

Prior to Intrepid, Trevor was an independent producer from September 2001 through February 2004. In that capacity, he developed, packaged, and hands-on produced Auto Focus, starring Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe, directed by Paul Schrader, and distributed by Sony Pictures Classics. He subsequently secured a ‘First Look’ producing deal with Catch 23 Entertainment, in addition to consulting for several independent motion picture production and co-financing companies. In addition, Trevor sourced, developed and packaged 20 motion picture projects, of which 10 will be used to kick-start Intrepid’s development slate.

From 1999 through August 2001, Trevor was Chief Operating Officer at Propaganda Films, responsible for overseeing all creative development, packaging, deal making, and production of feature films, as well as recruitment and retention of Propaganda’s roster of directing talent. Some of the films for which Trevor was responsible include Bark, starring Lisa Kudrow, Hank Azaria, and Vincent D’Onofrio, selected for competition at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, and The Badge, starring Billy Bob Thornton and Patricia Arquette. Reporting directly to Propaganda’s Board of Directors, Trevor was also responsible for the acquisition of Propaganda Films from Universal Pictures, and talent recruitment and retention for over 70 directors, including Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich), Simon West (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), and Rawson Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story). In addition, Trevor was responsible for the creative and financial oversight of Propaganda’s commercial and music video production endeavors – in excess of $400 million in physical production for over 300 clients, including Coca-Cola, XM Radio, Macy Gray, and N’Sync.

Prior to Propaganda Films, Trevor served as Vice President of the Sundance Group, the parent entity for all Robert Redford-controlled commercial enterprises. In addition to being steeped in the Sundance Film Festival and the world of independent film, Trevor was responsible for strategy, raising capital for, launch, and oversight of businesses including Sundance Channel, Sundance Cinemas, and Sundance Catalog.

Previously, as Director of Deal Analysis & Development Finance at Turner Pictures, Trevor was responsible for negotiation of talent contracts, co-financing arrangements for films, output deals, off-balance sheet film financing, and acquisitions, as well as planning and analysis for development, production, and distribution of both theatrical and television films. Prior to joining Turner Pictures Group, Trevor was Senior Business Planner for the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, where he was responsible evaluating and managing production, distribution, development, acquisition, and co-financing deals for film projects, strategic planning for filmed entertainment, growing the Walt Disney studios distribution platform, and management of on-lot talent deals.
