Smithfield Street Productions celebrates one year in Pittsburgh

November 16, 2007

Pittsburgh-Smithfield Street productions, Pittsburgh leading film producer celebrated this first year. The company is about to release its first film, Hack, a comedy-slasher film.

Headlining the event was Eliza Dushku, best known for her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bring it On. Dressed in a simple black dress with a red hat, Dusku was the center of everyone’s attention.

Most recently, the new production house worked side by side with Actor Blair Underwood in his Directorial Debut right here in Pittsburgh. Smithfield and Underwood completed The Bridge to Nowhere (Starring Ving Rhames, Bijou Phillips and Danny Masterson), which is a crime/drama about four 20-something guys from the Upper North Side of Pittsburgh who go to extreme lengths to break away from the neighborhood.

The star-struck event marks the official launch of a new era in film production —Smithfield Street Productions! The company, founded by four unique individuals (Mike Wittlin, Mike Dolan, Ben Barton, and Brian Hartman), brings a diverse skill set and unique array of talent to the Pittsburgh region.
