Axel Knight

Axel Knight (born Alexander Knight Rusche) was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. His career as a filmmaker began when he was thirteen after he read the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series and decided he wanted to try to make a more accurate film adaptation of the book than the existing 2010 movie. His film was never finished due to the budget constraints of a middle schooler, but it launched him into a passion for acting, writing, and directing, which he pursued as a theatre student in high school. When he was 17, he decided to turn it from a hobby into his career path, and has been working professionally in theatre and film ever since.
