Multi faceted artist Troy Dovey’s combined love for and successes in the visual, audio and arts fields have earned him the reputation of being one of the leading, up and coming auteurs in the industry. Creativity and passion have been displayed throughout every endeavor Troy has embarked on. Ambitious, innovative and disciplined from a young age, this former professional pitcher for the Houston Astros turned award-winning filmmaker began to make his mark early on in the scene after winning best portfolio for video production in college. Soon after, he launched his own successful enterprise, Cruxstar Productions – a full range production company.
Troy considers himself a “preditor” within the industry, one who is accomplished at focusing on various components at the same time- producing, writing, shooting, directing, editing and film scoring among other things. His film scoring abilities stem from his acclaimed musical achievements – he has been influential in the independent music scene as an artist and producer for almost fifteen years, even opening for bands such as the Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones, Kid Rock, Buckcherry and Flock of Segulls, among many others . One of his musical projects, Purge, was nominated for “The Best Unsigned Band” award by the nationally recognized magazine Musician. Troy no longer has that dream of being in a touring band but always has a new and exciting project up his sleeve.
Troy has had his hand in over 80 different independent productions utilizing his skills as a preditor and is always trying to ascend to the next level by keeping an open mind and staying current with new technology. Independent writers, musicians, corporations, film makers and even private investors continue to turn to Troy for his experience, talent, passion and unmatched reputation for turning out ultra-slick productions at minimal cost. Recent projects include treatments and scripts for several new feature films as well as editing the final concert performance of supergroup Nine Inch Nails, entitled 'after all is said and done’.
Succeeding on his mission to become a prominent artist / preditor in the industry, Troy’s passion is to “entertain people through his love for creation”. Known for his honesty, humor, loyalty and somewhat warped comedic side, Troy considers his greatest accomplishments in life so far to be his marriage to his beautiful wife Michelle and the birth of their first daughter, Presley Valentine.
