From the Philip Pelusi Film Studios…Introducing “The Evolution of Philip Pelusi”

Cheers to our Founder & CEO Philip Pelusi and the entire company, as he celebrates 60 years in business!  To mark this momentous occasion, Philip commissioned a film to highlight his career history and company journey, beginning in 1964 when he got his first job in the industry right after graduating from Pittsburgh Beauty Academy.

Titled “The Evolution of Philip Pelusi”, this film honors key points of the extensive company history using as much visual imagery as possible from over the decades spanning the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00’s, and 2025.  Plus, there’s more in the extensive ending film credits!

Since this full version (posted below and on The Evolution of Philip Pelusi) is 6 ½ hours long, you might experience some video buffering.  So also posted on The Evolution of Philip Pelusi is each film by decade, the 60’s, 70’s and so on.  These have a shorter running time. 

Enjoy the dance worthy music fitting for each era along with the decades of beautiful imagery.  You won’t want to miss a minute!  Shorter clips for social media will also be posted over the next year.  We will keep you in the loop when this all happens!

Get ready to be blown away by each exciting step of this phenomenal journey, legendary accomplishments, and the incredible amount of talent displayed over these many decades.  So get ready to view “The Evolution of Philip Pelusi” or dare we say, the revolution of Philip Pelusi!
