Biography
Jacques Pettigrew is the president and CEO of Canadian animation studio and production company CinéGroupe and has acted as an executive producer on several of their productions. "Heavy Metal 2000" was a sequel of sorts to the original animated cult film "Heavy Metal"--both films follow similarly convoluted sci-fi/fantasy plots and feature heavy metal music, and in CinéGroupe's film, pop artist Billy Idol even voices an alien character. "Tripping the Rift" was an animated science fiction comedy television series created by Chris Moeller (who worked on "King of the Hill") and Chuck Austen. The series was jointly produced by the Syfy channel and CinéGroupe, and featured the voices of Gina Gershon, Carmen Electra, and Jenny McCarthy. Pettigrew then acted as co-producer in CinéGroupe's "Pinocchio 3000," a CGI-animated sci-fi retelling of the classic Pinocchio story, about a futuristic robot. Separately from CinéGroupe's productions, Pettigrew executive produced the very different live-action drama "Edge of Madness," based on an Alice Munro short story about an abused woman, played by Canadian actress Caroline Dhavernas, who is suspected to have killed her husband.
