  • Executive Producer

    Warren Pictures, LLC

    (Motion Pictures and Film industry)

    January 2008Present (1 year 11 months)

    Warren, is a twenty-something coming-of-age story feature length motion picture written and directed by Alex Beh.

    Warren, a 25 year old downtown coffee shop barista, dealing with his parents divorce, his ex-girlfriends soon-to-be marriage and his friends dead end desires, and his own urge to break out of the cycle that others choose to be a part of. To take a chance and make something of his life.

    Warren is a wonderful representation of the youth of today, the ‘millenials’ who are faced with a terrifying prediction of their future and yet are promised the hope of change and an understanding of how things ought to be. While, the vision is often bright, it is dependent on the next generation to create. Warren is not sure how to bring about that future when his own is so unknown, and the rules are quickly changing for both himself and the world around him.
