Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe first teamed up while pursuing graduate film degrees at Temple University in Philadelphia and have been collaborating on documentary and fiction films for over a decade. In 1995 they produced their first documentary feature, “The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys,” an in-depth chronicle of the odd marriage of art and commerce in Hollywood filmmaking and their first collaboration with Terry Gilliam. Acclaimed by critics, who often compared it to “Burden of Dreams” and “Hearts of Darkness,” “The Hamster Factor” screened at film festivals worldwide and was a broadcast staple on the UK’s FilmFour. It is also available on Universal’s DVD of “Twelve Monkeys.”

In the wake of The Hamster Factor, Fulton and Pepe formed Low Key Pictures and have produced and directed numerous documentary pieces on filmmaking for Warner Bros., MGM, and Castle Rock Entertainment. Determined to prove that “behind-the-scenes” needn’t be synonymous with “funeral celebrity hoopla,” they have applied their “low key” sensibility on the sets of films such as Three Kings, Ghost World and Insomnia. Their work can be found on numerous DVD’s, in an HBO special, and on several websites.

“Terry Gilliam has been tilting at windmills ever since Universal studios held ‘Brazil’ captive in 1985. His more than fifteen-year history of battling the Hollywood machine has cast him, like Quixote, as a visionary dreamer who rages against gigantic forces.”
