Ace Salvador

Ace Salvador is a producer and director from Long Island, New York. At an early age Ace started writing while watching a lot of action movies. His interests moved to American independent films in high school, and then foreign films in college. He originally went to engineering school for microelectronics engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology in upstate New York, but left to pursue a filmmaking career in Los Angeles. After attending The Los Angeles Film School in 2008, he discovered his love for working on film sets and putting projects together as a producer. While interning at Michael Bay's commercial production company, The Institute, Ace produced a variety of short films and music videos before getting hired to produce two commercials for Nike and Adidas. In 2011, he executive produced and raised financing for his first television pilot, East Sandstone (2011), which was represented by CAA and shopped to the Weinstein Company and Lionsgate. In 2015, Ace co-produced a horror feature film, Drifter (2017), which secured both North American and foreign distribution and will be released in theaters in 2017. He then produced an action film, Sleepless (2017), which will wrap post-production in August 2016. He recently finished co-producing his third film, FML (2016), where he worked with Point Break (2015) producer John Baldecchi. He also recently finished producing a film, Striver's Row (2018) that was done in New York. He is filling the slate with more movies whose stories he feels deserve to be seen by the world. Ace believes it is the messages and themes conveyed through film that can unite audiences into a global community.
