Aleks Paunovic and Neil Stevenson Moore are executive Producers who have purchased SCI FI series GENZEROES from House of KIBAA. www.GenZeroes.com


GenZeroes is a sweeping sci-fi epic told 200 years in the future after earth has been left in ruins by a marauding alien species, leaving 10 factions to battle for control of humanity's future.Though Earth's population is at its smallest since the stone age, thanks to the abandoned alien machines, the human race has never been more technologically advanced. Medicine, travel (land, sea, and air), and most importantly weaponry, are at such an advanced stage they would be thought of as pure science fiction today. But even as our technological achievements evolved exponentially, as always the slowest to evolve is our own nature.With humanity at stake, and each faction jockeying for control using the most advanced technology in our history, alliance and betrayal are still the most potent weapons.

Aleks Paunovic, a Canadian born in Winnipeg, has always felt a deep passion for storytelling. He's expressed himself as an amateur boxing champion, a musician, and an actor. Descending from three champion boxers, Aleks inherited their sharp focus and athletic abilities, which led him to success in the boxing ring and later as a stunt actor. But Aleks didn't stop there; he also followed his artistic side as a member of a rock band. While performing on stage, he was discovered and invited to audition for the HBO movie "Heads." He landed the role and began his acting career. Aleks' chameleon-like talent has allowed him to portray a vast array of characters, from an overzealous karate dad to a developmentally disabled man accused of murder, breathing life into each role. He's graced both the big and small screens, with standout performances in Marvel's "Hawkeye," TNT's "Snowpiercer," and Syfy's "Van Helsing," among others. In addition, he's starred in several feature films, including "Siberia" opposite Keanu Reeves and "Zero Contact" opposite Anthony Hopkins.
