Gleb Kaminer Productions

Gleb Kaminer was born in Baku, Azerbaijan (former USSR), and spent his first thirteen years being a kid and running on the streets, although most of his time went to swimming - a national swimming team for seven years. After the national conflict in Azerbaijan, in the 90s began, his parents fled to Israel where they settled as "new immigrants". There he graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree and soon enough was dispatched to military service. After demobilization, the fortune played his way and he and his wife ended up in Los Angeles. In his early teens Gleb thought about writing and even tried to write a novel, but his swimming practices occupied most of his time. Only in Los Angeles did he finally go back to writing. While writing, he was very intrigued by the idea of characterization of his own heroes and began impersonating them while writing and just fell in love with the process and his passion to acting was born.

Later in 2008, Gleb Kaminer founded his own production company to co-finance, produce and distribute films. His latest production of, "Ideal World" is due to release early next year. His creative production staff allows him to find, create and produce distribute quality films around the world.
