Story, Story, Story + Casting.
Even though Dean brings over 25 years of feature film visual effects experience to directing, he knows that beautiful pictures are not the bottom line. It’s the characters that we care about, especially in extraordinary circumstances.
Dean’s first feature Stay Out Stay Alive has been acquired by Gravitas Ventures and will be released on Blu-ray and VOD Nov 26th. Already a hit on the festival circuit – winning Best Picture at Las Vegas’ 2019 Action on Film Festival – Best Cinematography at Portland Horror Film Festival and nominated for Best Feature at Wreak Havoc Film Festival. Stay Out Stay Alive can next be seen at Chicago Horror Film Festival, Upstate NY Horror Film Festival and Los Angeles longest running genre festival, Shriekfest.

“My happy place is creating video content, not only writing and directing feature films but I love creating all forms of video content. I relish writing, directing, shooting, editing, grading and visual effects-ing… Stick me in front of a monitor with some pretty pictures and rocking sound and I’m like a moth to a flame.”
