Virginia Perfili
Director & Business Consultant

Ms. Perfili currently serves on our Board of Directors and will assist us as a film production consultant. Virginia Perfili has an extensive background in film financing and production, as well as experience in the operations of publicly held companies. In 1984, Ms. Perfili, aided by a prominent Michigan securities attorney, took her independent record label, Orphan Records, Inc.
and her film production company, Orphan Eyes, Inc., public by affecting a“reverse merger” with a public company, becoming Orphan, Inc. She was appointed CEO and Chairman of the Board. Orphan, Inc., located in Michigan, expanded its roster of artists, started making award nominated music videos and set up a national radio, music video and record pool promotions team. Within months of signing five acts, all five acts had songs charting on the Billboard Magazine Charts. Distribution deals, a contract with Atlantic Records and contracts to produce music videos for Atlantic and Sony resulted. Orphan then retained Gary Rasmussen as an investor and strategic business consultant, and started concentrating on the opportunities Orphan’s status as a public company afforded the company and the financing and production of feature length films. Using the Company’s innate creative and promotional resources, this small record label successfully organized a series of limited partnerships to finance and produce motion pictures. Its first feature film, “Mirror, Mirror”, was theatrically released and internationally distributed. In 1992, Orphan’s limited partnership financed and produced a sequel film, “Mirror Mirror 2: Raven Dance.” In 1994, after moving to California, Ms Perfili then produced and directed the third feature film, “Mirror Mirror III: The Voyeur.” During the past 5 years, Virginia Perfili has produced and/or directed several independent films and documentaries, such as “Live on Sunset” and “Bikini Witness.”
