As a former Development Executive, Galen often saw how consistently filmmakers were taken advantage of. This had to change and fast thus why High Octane Pictures was born.
Galen started his career working at various companies such as Paramount Studios, CBS eventually landing at the world's leading talent agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA). At CAA Galen worked for the President and head of the agency, Richard Lovett. After 5 years of working for Hollywood's largest Agent Galen decided to segue back into what he loved most... making movies. This led Galen to become the VP of Development for film director, Marcus Nispel (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE / FRIDAY THE 13TH).
Over his career, Galen has worked on many films with budgets ranging from $500K to as high as $90 Million. Some titles include the recent remake of CONAN THE BARBARIAN starring Jason Momoa and the Blumhouse film, EXETER starring Stephen Lang.view less
