Tyler Perry Launches 34th Street Films
posted on Sep 24, 2008

Tyler Perry has formed 34th Street Films, the L.A.-based a production arm of his Atlanta-based Tyler Perry Studios that will focus on projects written and directed by outside talent.

Matt Moore
, former exec VP of production at Jinks/Cohen, will head the division; Poppy Hanks and Amber Rasberry join him. The trio will work from a Los Angeles office and report to Perry's HQ in Atlanta.

In July, Perry signed a three-year, first-look pact with Lionsgate Films, the studio that has released every Perry film. The deal requires writer-director-producer-actor Perry to deliver at least three films over the life of the contract. Lionsgate will retain a first-look position with 34th Street films as well.

Tyler Perry is really doing his thing! He is certainly an inspiration. Me and my sis just saw his latest movie "The Family That Preys" and he has really grown as a writer, director, and actor. I am so proud of him!
