Basil Iwanyk is a Jersey Shore native and the founder of Thunder Road Films, most known for producing the John Wick Franchise, Sicario, The Town, Greenland and MANY more blockbusters. Basil was a standout basketball player for Christian Brothers Academy before heading to Villanova, where he would lay the groundwork for a career in law, but ultimately decided to pursue a career in film. After interning and working entry level positions, his big break came when a top producer approached him in The Warner Brothers mail room looking for an extra body for pick up basketball. He agreed, and days later was running the court with young stars by the likes of Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney, Jamie Foxx and others. Basil is one of the industry’s most reputable and successful producers, yet one of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. He made his way back east after two decades in California for nights like these — fireside with good company, cold drinks and fun conversations. We hope you enjoy ours as much as we did!
