Meet The Team
Randy Rambeau
Founder & CEO / Creative Director
Randy's journey in the cinematic arts began in 2015 when he stepped onto a film set for the first time as both an actor and assistant director. Drawing on his military leadership skills, he quickly found his footing, effectively guiding actors and crew alike. As he immersed himself in the craft, he developed a deep appreciation for storytelling, both in front of and behind the camera. This continues to drive him as he explores the art of filmmaking.
Driven by his newfound inspiration and passion for cinema, he established Dark Odyssey Films, among the pioneering independent film studios in St. Louis, Missouri. The studio initially concentrated on producing Thriller and Horror genre projects. Yet, in 2017, the company expanded its focus to encompass drama. Recognizing this evolution, Randy understood the necessity for a company name that would reflect the broader genre spectrum. Rather than renaming Dark Odyssey Films, he founded a subsidiary called Creo Astralis Pictures with the assistance of his partner and wife, Elisa.
