The Official channel for filmmaker Derek Frey - Lazer Film Productions.
About Me:
A suburban Philadelphia native and graduate of West Chester University in Pennsylvania, Derek began his professional career in the entertainment industry on the ABC sitcom The Faculty. He then assisted film director Tim Burton on Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes and Big Fish . Derek served as Associate Producer on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In 2009 Derek worked as Editor on the extensive book The Art of Tim Burton. Most recently he worked as Associate Producer on the box office hit Alice in Wonderland. Derek is currently working as Associate Producer on Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter as well as Co-Producer on Frankenweenie. All three projects are scheduled for release in 2012.
Anyone that knows Derek understands why he always has a camera in his hand. By looking at the collection of work he has compiled, it is clear to see that he has the skill, creativity, and drive to show the world of what he is capable. From distinct directorial works such as The Day the Dolls Struck Back, The Upper Hand and Creep, to the bizarrely creative Sketch and Mr. Quiet, Derek is determined to entertain audiences with his exciting and unique style of storytelling. Aside from films Derek has created a number of music videos for Big Island band Technical Difficulties including Briny Deep, Jimmy and Summer. Derek teamed up with Philadelphia based comedic troupe The Minor Prophets for the creation of 4th and 99 which was accepted into the 2007 Festival De Cannes. Derek and the Minor Prophets joined forced again in 2008 with the creation of America's Game. In 2010 Derek directed The Curse of the Sacred Stone. The film was shot entirely in Hawaii and went on to be screened at festivals around the world, including the 2010 Festival De Cannes. That same year Derek directed the music video That's What You Get for Scottish rockers The Mars Patrol. Derek's most recent directorial outing, The Ballad of Sandeep, marks his third collaboration with The Minor Prophets.
