Award-winning director and writer Eddie Alcazar and British video game mogul Paul Wedgwood have teamed up to launch the independent film production company Entropy Pictures. The company aims to take a transmedia approach to develop Intellectual Properties and will focus on connecting unique stories with audiences looking for bold new offerings.
Wedgewood says, about his endeavors with Alcazar,
Entropy Pictures will be headquartered in Los Angeles and London and aims to make three to five films a year. The budget ranges of the films on the Entropy slate will vary depending on the size and scope of the individual projects, with most intended to be mid-level budgeted films.

Veteran studio executive Nick Bridger has been appointed as the company’s Head of Development and Production. James Allen, an experienced Line Producer, who has worked on all of Alcazar’s productions, will also be joining the studio.
“As a company, we see ourselves as hyper-creative, nimble and collaborative. Eddie, Nick, and myself are creators at heart and have complex projects we’ll develop and nurture very carefully. With the film landscape continuing to shift and evolve, our approach to championing distinctive material and bringing our creative visions to life is what drives us. I’m thrilled to start this exciting new endeavor with Eddie and Nick and work creatively and collaboratively to build a specialized brand.”

The first film released from Entropy Pictures is the genre-bending, hybrid live-action/animated thriller Absolute. The film will be written, directed, and produced by Alcazar, with Wedgwood serving as producer. Absolute is a story about two college friends who are working on a device that will change humanity’s relationship with the universe.
When one of the friends confronts a devastating relationship breakup, he chooses to enter the portal they have created in search of a better version of his ex-girlfriend. The film is set to shoot this summer, and financing is in place. Alcazar says about the film,
“Creating a foundation for this type of film is very motivating as there are so many opportunities to explore different worlds and each can lend itself to many formats such as film, digital and animation to truly immerse the audience in a specific style of emotion. Ultimately this is a story about young adults striving to be recognized and significant in an imperfect world. They follow grandiose ideas in order to give their lives meaning and end up realizing peace of mind and love are found in simplicity, not absolute perfection.”
