A chance encounter in early 2020 connected two men. They instantly bonded as mates. And soon after, business partners. Among their mix of different interests and life experiences, Jamie Arscott and Tyler Atkins found a common dream – to discover rare and special stories and bring them to life in world class cinematic experiences.
Their first feature film, Bosch & Rockit, inspired by true events, was released in 2022, a story as rare and special as the fateful meeting that spawned Black Pearl Productions.
Their second, Beast, followed in 2026. Directed by Tyler Atkins, it follows a former MMA champion pulled back into the cage for the fight of his life, a raw story of redemption, love and family.
TYLER ATKINS
the creative genius
During a stellar career in Hollywood, Tyler won the respect of the biggest names in the business. The producer, writer, former actor and passionate surfer has since made his mark as a director.
After joining the writing and directing team of Shantaram (2022), Tyler wrote and directed his award-winning first feature, Bosch & Rockit (2022), and then went on to direct Beast (2026).
JAMIE ARSCOTT
the visionary entrepreneur
Jamie has spent a lifetime steering business ventures to success, including his own luxury car and real estate enterprises. His latest investment is in his lifelong passion – film.
Producer of Bosch & Rockit and co-producer of Beast, Jamie is the steady hand behind Black Pearl, pairing a sharp eye for business with a real love of the craft. From the first pitch to the premiere red carpet, he’s there backing the team at every step, and proud to help bring Australian talent and stories to audiences around the world.
