Who is
Joel Pilger
If only talent were enough. Mastering the business is what unleashes our greatest creative work.

I’m not a consultant who read a book about running a studio. I actually ran one.

After two decades at the helm of Impossible Pictures, navigating the pitch wins, near-misses, late nights, and payroll scrambles, I’ve spent over a decade advising the world’s top studios and production companies. I know what separates the stalled from the standouts.

My mission now: helping founders like us build bold businesses that unleash creative impact and lasting recognition, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
