Ali Afshar (Casa Grande)

from MovieMaker · host MovieMaker Magazine

Ali Afshar has one of the most unique origin stories in Hollywood. His family moved to Petaluma, California after the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and he sought peace against a backdrop of tragedy by wrestling and street racing. A stuntman older brother helped him make his way into acting, and he soon became a producer as well. His latest project is the bilingual upstairs-downstairs family drama Casa Grande, now airing on Amazon's Freevee.But that barely scratches the surface of a story that includes racing success, shooting Christmas movies in a converted barn, and his goal of eventually telling the story of the German heavy metal band The Scorpions. His production company is ESX Entertainment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Making Movies with Andy Young Andy Youg A podcast where Moviemaker Magazine writer Andy Young sits down with some great working filmmakers to talk about their work and influences. Anthony's Asylum Anthony R. W. Lopez I'm a moviemaker and owner of Cross Beyond, the movie production company that crosses beyond the ordinary (www.crossbeyondproductions.com), but I'm also an avid movie lover, gamer, and all around cool (depends on your definition of cool) guy who's interested in nerdy/techie stuff. That's where my podcast Anthony's Asylum comes in. With Anthony's Asylum I'll discuss topics I'm devoted to - everything from talking about movies and video games that I love to the news that intrigues me most in the movie, game, and tech industries. So join me on a ride through Anthony's Asylum - my plan is to deliver a new podcast weekly, and I know the thing about plans is that they're neither foolproof nor consistent, but I will try my hardest to publish the best content that I can, when I can, and weekly sounds about right to me.
