Our Story

With a story-first approach to Films, Web Series and soon comic books, BGil Studios has shown how determined they are to become the next big thing in the world of the Superhero Genre. BGil’s now classic characters – DRAGONFLY, BLURR, BREANNA JAMESON, MATTHEW DAWSON, SPARROW, OKAMI and dozens more – became a pivotal force in the superhero fandom, aiming to reshape the landscape of the Superhero genre in the film industry, by creating what would eventually grow to become the largest and best-selling independent universe in film and series and soon comics.

In 2013, the very first film from BGil Studios was released in INFERNO: DARKNESS RISING was the start of the official first wave of projects that brought the BGIL Universe to life. Introducing the character of Matthew Dawson and the Big Bad of the BGilverse RILIK BLACK. Six years later, BGil Studio’s character-first philosophy and dedication to story above all else came to fruition in a climatic team up film titled THE PROTECTORS (2019), that continued the stories of DRAGONFLY, GRANT BOURNE, BREANNA JAMESON & MATTHEW DAWSON who all had their own solo films that lead up to this final project in the first Phase of the BGilverse. The New Phase of projects began in the first quarter of 2020 with THE DRAGONFLY (2020), that told a new interation of a classic character that started a whole new timeline of stories and iterations of existing characters to be brought to life.

In 2022, BGil Studios continued to forge new characters and new iterations of existing characters, as the very successful 4-part mini series SPARROW received massive love and awareness as Bryce Gilman (Creator, CEO, Owner, Director, Writer) along with the show’s star Jessica Blakely (Alyson Siphor/Sparrow) were guests on the Auroa, IL based Radio morning show 95.5 The River with Scott McKay. That same year, production began filming on the follow up KNIGHT WOLF: THE DIVINE PROTECTOR starring Alen Rios as Delsin Drake, Jessica Blakely reprising her role as Alyson Siphor, Vivian Lee as Breanna Monroe, and Anthony Louis as James Sylas amongst many more which was later released in the beginning of June 2023. Where Bryce Gilman and Alen Rios were once again invited back to 95.5 The River for another interview.

And in Q4 of 2023, BGil Studios began the production of the final film of the 11 year saga of story, with MATTHEW DAWSON: DAWN OF CHESS KING which will culminate and connect every project that has been released from 2013’s INFERNO: DARKNESS RISING to 2023’s KNIGHTWOLF: THE DIVINE PROTECTOR ending the story in a climactic finale that will change the course of the BGilverse forever going forward into what is being called the REBIRTH Era.

This is only the beginning for BGil Studios, as the CEO and Owner Bryce Gilman has said, regarding audiences around the globe are about to become much more familiar with these stories:

“While this multi-platform initiative prioritizing the cinematic landscape, the intention is to expand the BGil universe into comics and possibly gaming in the future. BGil Studios already has projects in development, production, and post-production in the form of new television shows, films and comics.”
