Scott Glancy

President of Pagan Publishing

Scott, co-creator of Delta Green (the apocalyptic role playing game), will be on hand to provide much needed survival techniques against the hordes of the undead. He is bound to offend most everyone.

Rocky Curby

director of O Negative

Rocky Curby was raised in Aransas Pass, Texas. He spent most of his childhood drawing cartoons and watching movies in his grandparents movie theater (The Rialto). He was especially fond of old horror films. After graduation from high school, he attended The Art Institute of Dallas. Like so many others who graduated from that school, Rocky's first job was a digital artist for DNA on the feature film Jimmy Neutron (2001).

Pursuing his dream to work on live action features he moved to Los Angeles and landed a position as a preproduction animator for a sci-fi serial in the spirit of the 1930s, entitled Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow (2004). Once Sky Captain wrapped he moved on to such films as Stealth (2005) and Transformers (2007). Having worked closely with one of the biggest action directors of his generation Rocky decided to do a short film that would utilize his experiences from preproduction on features and apply it to his own sensibility and love for the B-horror films he watched while growing up.

Alan Trezza

director of Burying the Ex

Alan Trezza is a graduate of New York’s Fordham
University where he received a B.A. in Film and a
minor Business. Alan later moved to Los Angeles where
he landed his first job with Miramax Films. There, he
worked on the box office hit “She’s All That”,
“Serendipity” with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale,
and “View From the Top” starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
Alan later moved to Dimension Films where he worked
with producers Roy Lee and Doug Davison ("The
Departed") and directors Todd Phillips and Wes Craven.

Alan is currently raising financing for the feature
version of his short film "Burying the Ex" which he
plans to shoot in Fall '08.

Matt Allen

director of Aces & Eights

Denver, CO
Born in Milaca, MN, Matt Allen grew up a horror fan. His career started as a field producer for Bader TV News, covering the Super Bowl and NBA All-Star games, and other special events from 2004-2005. Since his transition from television to film, Allen has produced and directed several short films, worked on many others, and has been a part of five feature films in the Colorado independent film community with roles ranging from PA to 1st AD.

Matthew Kohnen and Sean Kohnen

director and producer of Waisting Away

For too long, Zombies have been the misunderstood Antagonists of Horror Films. Nearly every other classic Monster has gone on to have a film made that takes a moment to look at things from their side. "Interview with a Vampire", "Young Frankenstein", even "Teen Wolf". But never Zombies, no...

For some reason, the idea of eating Brains never resonated with the General Public, and Zombies remained the bastard children of the Genre. It was my goal to rectify this, to give Zombies a voice, a point-of-view, if you will, that would allow us all to see that Dead or Undead, we all basically want the same things.
