Two Edina Grads Produce and Release Kimura’s Vengeance

Two Edina grads produce and release a movie together.

Lights, camera, success! Evan Kail and Tomas Aksamit are 2007 graduates of Edina High School who teamed up and turned their movie-making dreams into reality. Kimura’s Vengeance, the brainchild of Kail, the screenwriter and co-producer, and Aksamit, the director and co-producer, aired at the Edina Film Festival last November. 

The most satisfying part of the filmmaking process is the process itself, says Kail. “Seeing your vision come to life is truly incredible.” Expanding Minnesota’s film industry is a goal for both Edina natives, who hope their success brings their home state notoriety. 

“There is a lot of strong talent, and we want to help nurture people’s skills and help sustain them while doing something they love,” Aksamit says.
