ABOUT

ASTERION ARTS is an independent production company for human created films.

Founded by Nick Dragon in Los Angeles, California,

we make short and feature films with a unique, sometimes twisted vision.

From time to time, we win awards.

ASTERION ARTS also provides production and post-production services and consultations to filmmakers with limited budgets.

ASTERION ARTS does not currently use A.I. at any stage of production, from the writing to the final edit to marketing materials.

All current forms of A.I. have been documented as using unsustainable amounts of electricity and fresh water to perform even the simplest tasks, 

and we refuse to use it. (Something that’s getting harder to do!)

Our films do incorporate some non-A.I.-generated VFX, but we prefer to create practical effects whenever feasible. 

They usually require less energy to generate, and also just look way cooler!

Producer NICK DRAGON started skulking the streets of Los Angeles when it was nothing but tar pits and hippies.

He writes, directs, shoots and edits narrative film, and has a fondness for weird and surreal parables.

His genre influences range from FW Murnau to Rod Serling to Roger Corman to David Lynch.

He knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. He likes pie and vaccines.

Want to turn your cinematic dreams into reality? We've been there. Asterion Arts can make it happen.
