Guy Quigley
Filmmaker, Writer, and Consultant in Doylestown, Pennsylvania
I was born in Ireland to a second-generation thespian family. I was educated in Ireland, where I left the theatre and entered the business world.
From 1970 through early eighties I built a 40,000 acre cattle ranch in Zambia, Africa housing 5,000 head of cattle and imported 100 pedigree Semmintaler cattle from Bavaria, Germany via three Boeing 707 Skybarn aircraft, establishing a pedigree herd.
In the US, I formed The Quigley Corporation in 1989, filed an S-18 registration and the company became a public entity on February 7, 1991, trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol (QGLY). I successfully developed and marketed a cold remedy zinc product under the franchise name COLD-EEZE®, establishing the United States zinc-lozenge marketplace. The product remains on the shelves of most outlets in the United States. I resigned from the Company on June 12, 2009.
Writing has been of tremendous therapeutic value and a full circle return to my birthroots. Since then I have written two further books: “The Rebel Son,” and “Hellevator (The Master’s Son),” along with several movie scripts.
I was an Ex-Producers of “Magic Boys” filmed in London and Budapest. I was the Ex-Producer of “Breaking Wind,” and “Wicked Blood,” a film with a host of A-line stars. I also created a test web series called “In The Bag.”
Along with Futurist Ape Productions, utilizing my ThunderSmoke Media Company we collectively produced the movie “Remorse,” (RENAMED) Apparition (North America) The Nesting (International) Available to download fro Amazon and iTunes.
