Q?
What does “IOU” mean to your company?
-
A.
Business is inherently selfish, as it should be. We should all primarily be selfish, that is nature. However, after ten years of figuring out the way to go into business without succumbing to the urge to simply chase a dollar, the term "IOU" has come to represent, for this company's founder and associates, a beacon of social responsibility. One should not simply exist if he or she (or, in the case of a company, it) is able to be of service (serve as an integral part of his or her or its environment): "IOU" is our promise to, in our every practice, serve at least to the degree at which we are served: we take chances, so we shall give chances. We aim to reciprocate value... while benefiting self.

Q?
Why “PICKPOCKUT”?
-
A.
In reference to "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens, a play our founder, a then twenty-year-old male product of a challenging upbringing had read, seen and loved on a fourth-grade school trip, the name "PICKPOCKUT" was chosen.
At twenty years old, in a moment of inspiration, our founder had visions of incorporating the essence of an underdog; to draw some negativity from the word "pickpocket," he decided to substitute the letter "e" with "u," and discovered the poetry in what he'd created: the only vowels in "PICKPOCKUT" are "I," "O" and "U." Get it?
Also, the name is hilarious.

Q?
What have you been up to since 2003?
-
A.
When, on a whim, PICKPOCKUT, INC. was incorporated, it was quickly realized it would be better to operate professionally within a philosophical framework instead of simply by chance. The thing about "PICKPOCKUT, INC." is, once one has learned that name, one is unlikely to forget it. It made sense, therefore, to create a thoroughly thought-out business philosophy under that unique brand name instead of simply slapping that name on one specific, one-dimensional business operation. All possible lucrative activities, therefore, had to take a backseat to this company's founder's ultimate understanding of a more worthwhile mission than simply making movies under a seemingly inflexible brand name. That ultimate understanding has, since, been realized.
