Norman McGuire, a renowned and award-winning director, is a true aficionado of cinema, having developed a passion for films at a remarkably young age. Born in Louisiana, McGuire made the decision to relocate to Texas in his early twenties, a move that would ultimately shape his professional trajectory. His introduction to the world of filmmaking came about through his work as an extra on the popular television series, Walker Texas Ranger, which served as a catalyst for his directing career.
As a multifaceted creative, McGuire not only directs but also writes his own works, confessing to having an aversion to the blank page and pen. His impressive body of work has garnered significant recognition, with two notable wins at the IndieFEST for his films "The Lucky Man" and "From Eva, with Love". McGuire's professional endeavors are divided between Dallas and Los Angeles, where he continues to work in the industry. In his own words, he hopes to ultimately produce twelve feature presentations throughout his career.
As a successful entrepreneur, McGuire is the founder of several notable companies, including Lucky Films, LLC, a Delaware-based corporation that specializes in the development and production of independent films. The company's credits include the critically acclaimed films "The Lucky Man", starring Jesse James, and "21 Years - Richard Linklater", featuring an all-star cast including Billy Bob Thornton, Jack Black, Ethan Hawke, and Matthew McConaughey.
Additionally, McGuire is the owner of McGuire Solutions, Inc, a Texas-based network engineering and architecture firm that provides services to a diverse range of clients across the United States, including healthcare, oil and gas, finance and insurance, government, military, and education entities.
Bee Cave Systems, LLC, another of McGuire's ventures, is a software development company that focuses on creating web/cloud-based solutions for clients in the healthcare, oil and gas, and government sectors.
In 2010, McGuire sold his first company, McGuire Systems, Inc, to a larger competitor, marking a significant milestone in his entrepreneurial journey.
