Cinematic storytelling across television, animation, and interactive entertainment — from directing English-language adaptations of animated features to building original game-show formats designed to make audiences laugh, argue, and play along at home.
Angelo Grillo is a Beverly Hills–based writer, producer, and creator who has been doing creative work for 15 years across animation, video-game localization, and television development. He brings a rare cross-genre perspective to every project: the discipline of adaptation writing, the precision of dubbing direction, and the instincts of a format creator.
As founder of Pretend Productions, Angelo directed and wrote English-language adaptations of international animated features and oversaw dubbing and localization for major video-game titles. His focus is original television — game-show and panel formats built on comedic timing, audience participation, and mechanics that keep viewers playing along from home.
From animation adaptation and dubbing direction to video-game localization and original television development.
Angelo is developing an original studio game-show format — comedy-forward and built for the long run. The hook is something no current format on the air is doing. Full materials — format bible, sell sheet, and presentation — are available to qualified industry parties under NDA.
