Alain Zaloum brings a high degree of versatility to the craft of filmmaking, and has extensive experience in feature films and television lifestyle/documentary programming. After completing his studies at the University of Southern California in Film and Television Production, where he was a much sought after Director of Photography on student films, he returned to Canada and switched his focus from shooting pictures to writing and directing them.

He debuted as a director on the thriller, Sins of Seduction for Alliance. It was followed by Canvas, which he also co-wrote, for ABC Distribution, starring Gary Busy and John Rhys-Davies. He co-wrote and directed the popular thriller Suspicious Minds for Lionsgate Pictures starring Patrick Bergin, and the Capra-esque comedy Promise Her Anything starring Billy Zane for Equinox Films. In addition to his work in film, Alain has also written and directed a host of award winning and critically acclaimed television shows such as Debbie Travis’ Painted House, Her Money, The Things We do For Love, and Dogs with Jobs, which airs regularly on Animal Planet and National Geographic. Recently he was director on What’s That About? for Discovery Channel. His most recent feature was the Canadian box-office hit and award winning French language action/comedy C’est Pas Moi, C’est L’Autre (The Cop, the Criminal and the Clown) starring La Femme Nikita star Roy Dupuis, distributed in the US by LSR Releasing. In 2008 Alain wrapped production on the independent film David & Fatima, a Romeo and Juliet tale set in Jerusalem. The film stars some of Hollywood’s brightest young performers, as well as Academy Award winning actor Martin Landau and screen icon Tony Curtis.

Zaloum is currently available as a writer or director for hire.
