After receiving his M.F.A. in Film and Theater Arts from U.C.L.A. in 1985, Scalia began his career as an assistant editor to Oliver Stone on such features as Wall Street (1987) and Talk Radio (1988). Later coming into his own with such films as JFK (1991) (for which he received a Best Editing Oscar) and Sam Raimi's The Quick and the Dead (1995), Scalia continued to work on such high-profile films as Stealing Beauty (1996) and G.I. Jane (1997). Scalia also received Best Editor Oscar nominations for Good Will Hunting (1997) and Gladiator (2000), though he would have to wait until the following year for his next win at the Oscars, as he received the Best Editing Award for director Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down (2001).

XIYAD QUWAIS
Auteur screenwriter and filmmaker Xiyad Quwais is the creator of Grenade and a proud Angelino of Loco Angeles, California. He grew up in different countries, in several different cities and towns, and on three different continents. A bi-racial child with an eclectic ethnic heritage, Quwais draws creative inspiration from his diverse heritage and nomadic lifestyle that has seen him criss-cross the globe on an odyssey of self-discovery.
A well travelled and astute man, Quwais is first and foremost a superfluously talented screenwriter who is often imitated, but only duplicated by the plagiarizing parasites that are plaguing the industry. He's also an actor, film director, and film producer. He began writing screenplays after seeing the Hugh Laurie film, "Maybe Baby" back in 2001, and that led to a logical progression years later, into acting and directing. He made his debut in a short film titled, "Revenge X" back in 2010, before returning to America. Sadly, it would be seven long years before he would follow it up, but he did it in style with his feature film debut, the remarkable neo-noir silent film, "Grenade". In both films the production consisted of a "one-man cast and crew"... Quwais himself. Then later in 2017 he wrote, produced, directed and starred in "Subversive". And in 2019, "Stultus Nothi", a follow-up to 2017's "Subversive" which was screened at film festivals in Europe and in the Middle East.
Quwais has managed to develop accomplished skills as a screenwriter and filmmaker despite the fact that he has never attended any formal film school. And with a lifelong obsession for cinema, Quwais credits Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles as influences in his filmmaking philosophy. A star waiting to shine and in his own narcissistic words, "A creative gigantaur walking the land of creative midgets", Quwais is blessed in victory and is working on several projects, including one in Arabic and planned for the Middle East called "Tajir Al Bunduqia". it will be an Arabic take on Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice"
