Blazing Griffin appoints Danny Page as head of pictures

Blazing Griffin has recruited Danny Page (pictured above left) as head of pictures, as part of the company’s expansion into film production work.

Managing director Naysun Alae-Carew (pictured above right) will continue as executive producer across Blazing Griffin’s film slate while also leading company strategy and overseeing new funding rounds. 

Danny Page was lead producer of feature film California Schemin’ and is the founder of Homefront Productions. He is currently producing Farida: The Girl Who Fought ISIS with producer Lloyd Levin (United 93, Watchmen). Page was previously a development consultant for studios such as Endemol and Skydance. At Blazing Griffin, he will shape a slate of mid-budget features, uniting talent with stories that inspire and connect with audiences. 

Page said: “Working closely together on California Schemin’ convinced me that Naysun and the Blazing Griffin team were exactly the kind of collaborators I wanted to be alongside. There’s a rare appetite here for stories that are both commercially ambitious and creatively distinctive. I’m excited to help drive that vision forward, both at home and internationally.” 

Alae-Carew added: “After collaborating on California Schemin’, the creative chemistry (some might say madness) made it clear we should be working with Danny more permanently. His commercial sensibility and outward-looking ambition align closely with ours at Blazing Griffin, so bringing him on board as head of pictures feels like a natural evolution. I’m genuinely excited to work in close partnership with him as we expand the breadth and ambition of our storytelling.”
