SO WHO ARE WE?
REX Productions is a team of young, aspiring artists striving to make movies that are truly unique. We started out as a two man team run by Eric Xu and Russell Escalada that produced an unsuccesful YouTube comedy/cooking series. When Eric brought REX Productions to China and took the group in a different direction, we took our first step towards becoming a true production team. With the continuous support of friends and family, we've become a growing film team that's once more taking its baby steps — this time as a student club at Monta Vista High School.
MEET THE CREW
Eric Xu
Founder / Writer / Director / Editor
He writes, organizes, directs, and edits his own films — the epitome of a polymathic filmmaker. He's a tier one perfectionist and, to the frustration of his cast and crew, often calls for take after take until he's satisfied. However, they always thank him for it when they see the results. He is also an avid nature photographer.
Goutham Rejeev
Assistant Camera / Key Grip
Goutham shares Eric's love for film and is an enthusiastic member of the film team. He helps in every aspect from the writing to his duties on set. He has been an invaluable help in getting us back on our feet after the move to Cupertino.
Stephen Lai
Sound Recordist
A humorous and relaxed person on set, he's reliable and eager to participate.
Angelica Feng
Gaffer
A new addition to the REX Crew!
FORMER CHINA CREW
Before we became a club at Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, California, we were a filmmaking team based in Beijing, China. This is where we made our first film, iRelationship, and became a group dedicated to making short films and music videos. The people below are the reason why we continue to make movies today, and are the ones to thank for getting us off our feet.
Luca Alexandru
Sound Recordist
A close friend of the director, Luca was a person with a strong sense of loyalty and dedication. As sound recordist, he tirelessly miced the actors on set and recorded the Foley in post. Extremely cooperative and competent, Luca was an exceptional team member. In his free time Luca enjoys computer programming and gaming.
William Lee
Gaffer
A great asset to the crew, William was easygoing and cooperative on set. Always friendly to everyone, he never failed to give a fellow crew member his helping hand. He often brought a relaxed calm to the hectic and stressful set, which everyone appreciated.
Erik Powers
Key Grip
Always fast to react and willing, Erik was an unstoppable crew member during production for iRelationship, no lighting bag or light stand too heavy for him carry or move. He brought a touch of masculine humor to the set, often brawling with our sound recordist.
Sean Hinson
Best Boy Grip
Keen and quick to learn, Sean was the joker on set. His playful demeanor sometimes frustrated Eric, but his humor was appreciated by the crew most of the time. When he wasn't cracking jokes (usually at Eric's expense), he was helping out with pretty much everything.
Bartu Bilgin
Production Assistant
Filled with brimming enthusiasm and eagerness every shoot, Bartu was an indespisible part of our China crew. His persistance and attitude was inspiring for us all, and he never failed to supply our shoots with mirth and laughter, as well as making our lives a lot easier.
