Producer and filmmaker Tony Okun is enjoying seeing his productions take flight. His hands-on philosophy throughout all phases of production on his films are evident in his creative vision and perfectionist attitude, and a look at his past tells a story of a man destined to become a visual storyteller. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Tony attended the University of Nebraska, Lincoln where he graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Journalism in Advertising. He was always a big dreamer, an idea guy with a creative vision to want to do his own thing. Since childhood he always had an interest in biographies and in others' stories and pasts, often asking numerous questions to satisfy his own curiosity, (but not always knowing when to stop!). This inclination to want to know anything and everything about everyday people naturally led him to develop an interest in storytelling through documentary film making.
