'Ironheart': Sam Bailey And Angela Barnes Tapped To Direct Marvel Series, Ryan Coogler's Banner Proximity Joins As Producers This, then, was the impetus for Ballantyne to create Strong Studios, and hire David Ozer to lead the business unit as President. Both had aspirations of building feature films and documentaries that tell the stories of many of the recent great financial dramas that have occurred in the capital markets industry. Cerminara and Insana are former colleagues, having worked together in the hedge fund industry under Steve Cohen of Point72. It’s a true-life crime drama that watches as ex-butcher turned salad oil exporter Anthony “Tino” DeAngelis and his Bayonne, New Jersey blue collar crew nearly destroy American Express and eventually crash Wall Street in their bid to corner the market on salad oil futures in the early 1960s.Īward-winning business journalist, CNBC contributor, author and former hedge fund manager Ron Insana, who heads up Insana Entertainment Group as CEO, brought the idea for The Tank Job to Ballantyne Chairman Kyle Cerminara in January of last year, and they have been collaborating on it ever since. subsidiary’s first original feature film adapts Norman Miller’s book, The Great Salad Oil Swindle.
