Troy Bolotnick | Source | Co-Founder and CEO at Filmland Spirits

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, Troy was a creative dreamer from the start, inventing characters and stories before he even knew the alphabet. At the age of five, he fell in love with the art of storytelling after seeing his fist sci-fi movie, Logan’s Run. The film delighted and terrified him so much tha the was hooked and vowed one day to write movies of his own. After graduating Binghamton University in 1992 with a degree in creative writing and a successful track record of directing and producing community theater, he set out to Tinseltown to follow his childhood dream and became a screenwriter. Fast forward to 2022 and Troy collaborated with lifelong friends, liquor industry experts and fellow screenwriters to launch Filmland Spirits. The Filmland Spirits team believes that every whiskey has a story and every story deserves a whiskey. The result is a wildly creative pairing of an original retro B-Movie concept – complete with monsters, robots and over-the-top plots – with a delicious and unique whiskey – each of which has already won a Gold Medal or higher. Even the bottles tell part of the story as they are custom designed to reflect an art deco style reminiscent of the movie houses of old and feature movie posters as labels.
