Shan Serafin

His second film, Misfire (2013),[8] starring Jaina Lee Ortiz, is a stylized action-thriller depicting rival female assassins converging on the same target.

The Believer represents his second collaboration with actor Aidan Bristow, who also produced, and co-stars Billy Zane, Sophie Kargman, Lindsey Ginter, and Susan Wilder.

Serafin's directorial work in theater began with a stage play he also co-wrote entitled The Essential Bond,[10] a biographical narrative about the true story of two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling.

Thereafter, Serafin directed several stage productions in Los Angeles, including Adam Rapp's Red Light Winter,[11] Patrick Marber's Closer,[12] and Theresa Rebeck's Spike Heels,[13] before directing Faisons Retentir le Chant Merveilleux de Nos Vies at the Auditorium Edmond Michelet à La Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris.

Serafin trained in stage performance and filmmaking at UCLA and served as a member of the Aresis Ensemble Theater Troupe[14] in Santa Monica where he engaged in the North American debut of several avant-garde French and other European works.
