Lance Hool is a film producer with a uniquely multifaceted background in the industry, having also worked as an actor, writer, director, executive producer, distribution company chairman, and now studio chief. Over the last four decades he has produced twenty-five major motion pictures, two of which have reached number one at the US box-office: Missing in Action (1984) and Man on Fire (2004). He currently heads Silver Lion Films, an independent film finance and production company, which he established in 1987 with his brother Conrad, and Santa Fe Studios, the world's first "green" film and television production facility, which he developed with his son Jason in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Born and raised in Mexico City in 1948, Lance grew up within a family environment of international politics and art. His mother Constanza was an internationally renowned ballerina and choreographer, his father Alan an American diplomat and health innovator; his grandmother Marión de Lagos was a playwright, journalist, and actress, and his uncle the great muralist Siqueiros. His grandfather Domingo Kamffer, a tough Italian-immigrated rancher, hosted and acted in Howard Hawks' Viva Villa! (1934) on his ranch outside of Mexico City. Twenty-six years later, Lance would begin his own film career acting alongside John Wayne in Hawks' final film, Rio Lobo (1970). Utilizing these skills, in 2007 Lance realized another dream and began developing a world-class filmmaking facility in New Mexico. Santa Fe Studios opened its doors in late 2011 as the world's first "green" film studio. Recent productions include Fox's hit TV series Cosmos (2014) and Seth McFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014). Lance holds a BA and MBA from La Universidad de las Americas, and is a member of the Directors Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild of America, the Screenwriters Guild, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
