Gene Pope

Gene Pope

Actor, Producer, Director, Writer, Recording Engineer, Music Label Founder, Studio Founder

Gene Pope embarked on his first career in 1970 fresh out of college, diving into the world of music as a recording engineer at Brunswick Records in Chicago alongside notable engineer Bruce Swedien. His tenure there saw him collaborating with renowned artists like The Chi-Lites, Tyrone Davis, and Quincy Jones. Seeking to broaden his creative scope, Gene transitioned to television production in New York in 1974, working at Doyle Dane Bernbach Advertising. He swiftly rose to oversee bi-coastal production for esteemed clients such as American Airlines and Atari, earning acclaim for his expertise in special effects on multimillion-dollar projects.

Transitioning to the realm of directing, Gene amassed a string of accolades over nine years, including over 30 Gold Awards at U.S. film festivals. His crowning achievement came in 1985 when he clinched the Grand Award for Best Director at the New York International Film Festival for his groundbreaking short film "The Mad Ave Wizard." Undeterred by geopolitical barriers, Gene journeyed to Russia in 1986 to craft a documentary on the Moscow Circus during the communist era, promoting their inaugural U.S. tour.

In the 1990s, Gene returned to his musical roots, founding the globally renowned record label PopeMusic Inc., lauded by the New York Times for its revolutionary digital recordings. Gene's diverse background spurred a return to filmmaking and acting, prompting him to enroll in the Maggie Flannigan Studios' Acting Conservatory Program in NYC. Since graduating in 2013, he has helmed numerous short and feature films, including "King of Knives" in 2020 and the upcoming "Queen of Knives" in 2024, where he wears multiple hats as a production company owner, lead actor, producer, and post supervisor.

Under the banner of Pope 3 Enterprises LLC, Gene melds his vast experience to deliver films of unparalleled quality, imbued with compelling, provocative, and humorous narratives.
