Naysun Alae-Carew is Founder, Managing Director and Executive Producer at Blazing Griffin, the Glasgow-based studio he has led since 2015. A storyteller at heart, Naysun started in film and built Blazing Griffin into one of Scotland’s most distinctive creative studios — spanning game development, feature film production, and high-end post-production.

A firm believer that platform comes second to story, he has always seen film, games, and television not as separate industries but as different expressions of the same creative thread.

He is known as producer of Anna and the Apocalypse, which was nominated for Best Feature Film at the 2018 British Academy Scotland Awards. More recently, he has served as executive producer across Blazing Griffin’s film slate, overseeing three acclaimed features in 2025 — James McAvoy’s California Schemin’, Brian Cox’s Glenrothan, and John McPhail’s Grow.
