In the late 1990s, with his producing partner Oren Koules, he created Evolution Entertainment, which produces film and television and manages writers, directors, and actors. In 2004, with Koules and the late Gregg Hoffman, he created the production company Twisted Pictures that mainly focuses on developing and producing horror films. Burg personally financed the first production of the Saw films with his partner, Koules. It paid off, in result of him becoming a multi-millionaire.
