Tony Schweikle was born in Chicago. His mother was a first generation Italian, his father a third generation of German decent. Tony Schweikle's first job was for Roger Corman, as a location coordinator on the film Avalanche. He then worked as a location scout, followed by location manager. In 1988, he finished prepping the Colorado/New Mexico portion of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He then accepted the position of assistant film commissioner for the state of Colorado. In 2009, he started writing feature length scripts, to date he has completed 9. One of his scripts, The Hybrids Family, was produced in November of 2013, starring Paul Sorvino and Carolyn Hennesy. In 2018 he wrote and directed Rum & Hot Peppers/AKA "Sacrificial." Several other scripts have won in competition.  

We are so excited to welcome Tony to the stage of the Paradise Theatre this month to screen his works, share his Hollywood stories, and answer your questions about a life creating original films!
