FOUNDERS

Cousins Tom Slevin and Robert Palumbo, united by family and a love of impactful storytelling, founded Uncle Johnny Productions in 2020 to create films that spark debate and challenge the audience to see things differently.

Robert’s passion for acting and filmmaking began right after college with acting classes that led him to perform in theater, commercials, and an improv group. For a time, acting gave way to a successful career in sales. Now, Robert continues his acting classes with film coach, Eric Reis, in New York and has returned to the industry he loves with a commitment to developing and producing moving work that is relatable and thought-provoking to his audience.

With a nagging interest in screenwriting that wouldn’t go away, Tom sought out every online and written resource that could help him hone his craft. The self-taught screenwriter penned his first screenplay while running a successful leasing business. That first script (a comedy) gave rise to many others and was the spark that prompted him to join with Robert. Now, he has the ability to take his scripts from thought to visual stories and provide that same opportunity to other promising filmmakers.

Uncle Johnny

The centerpiece of every family gathering, Uncle Johnny is the uncle everyone wishes they had. Always with a great story and always willing to listen to yours, he is both family and friend and the inspiration behind everything we do.
