Alex
Kazan moved to the US from Yorkshire, England,
during June 1996. He wrote his first novel Lady
in Red" at the tender age of twelve. He subsequently
joined the high school theater and arts group and directed his
first play, "The Tall Thief" at fourteen.
During his studies at Leeds Metropolitan University where he
gained his BEng (Hon) in electronics Engineering, he also
attended the well known Leeds School of Arts and mastered the
art of writing. Later in the US he increased his knowledge of
filmmaking by studying at the New York Film Academy. As a
student he made several shorts including the festival
favorites “Hell’s Angel” and “A Day At The Park”.
In
2002 Kazan founded Blue Rocket Films (BRF) based in Sherman
Oaks, Los Angeles. Since then BRF has produced works by
Alex and other filmmakers. These works include “Demon’s
Trap”(2003, Alex Kazan), “ACID”(2004, by upcoming Indian
director Swroop Kanchi) traveled the festival circuit in India
and made it to the respected Times of India. “Supernova,
California”(2004, Alex Kazan), “Vigilante Cop”(2005,
Alex Kazan) starring Justin Ferrari and Raul Gonzales. During
2005 Alex also developed “PayBack, the Trojan Assembly” to
be produced in 2009.
As
a producer Alex has raised finances, negotiated terms and
conditions for production to gain better production values for
minimal cost. His involvement with sales and distribution has
helped with producing market friendly projects and a quick
project turn around. Finally,
Kazan’s scientific background mixed with his creative
talents have made him one of only a few Producer / Directors
in Hollywood who know how to bring the world of dreams and the
sense of reality together to make a believable and
entertaining movie.
