- Rich Drezen was born February 4, 1985 at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre, New York. He broke the family tradition of becoming a pharmacist at the age of 3 when he began drawing, and by the time he was 16, he was making his first animated short films.
Rich's animation talents have earned him his first film award. His Luckyzilla short, "Atomix", won Best Short Animation Award from The New York International Independent Film and Video Festival in May, 2006.
His animated superhero character Luckyzilla, which he created at the age of 10, has appeared in the Massapequa High School newspaper, "The Chief", and has appeared on screen at The Village East Cinemas as part of The New York International Independent Film and Video Festival in May, 2006. Rich adapted the character into his first live-action film later that year.
Rich seeks to bring to the world his fresh new vision of entertainment whether it be through films or otherwise.- IMDb mini biography by: Rich Drezen

- If you have a dream, chase it. If you believe it's worth fighting for, go for it. Tell your stories. Tell them from the heart. Comics isn't the only way to do it, but from my experience, it's been a good place to start.
- [on the documentary "Tiger King"] I wonder if anyone collects stamps anymore.
- The world hasn't changed, people haven't changed, we're just learning more about each other and what makes our lives full. Love isn't just a mutual commitment between people, it is a most precious value with which we must teach our children, share with friends and family, and teach ourselves. Love is a way of life. Love is everything. I chose love.
