The Music Master

Fedor Ozep

Fedor Ozep was a Russian director and screenwriter. He began his film career in Russia, as a screenwriter alongside the director Yakov Protazanov. He directed his first film in 1925 with Boris Barnet. In 1928, he left the USSR for Germany, where he made a film, and then found refuge in France in 1933 where he made five films. When war broke out, he was arrested, managed to escape, and settled in the United States where he made a single film. He made his last three films in Quebec, and died of a heart attack in Beverly Hills in 1949.
