About the Director

Andrew Patrick Torrez began studying all aspects of film production at a very young age, starting with making short films and putting on plays during kindergarten. Over the years he honed the powerful visual style which he brings to all his projects, as well as his formidable storytelling ability.

Andrew has worked in both the studio and independent movie world, helming several feature length films including the psychological thriller Sickness House. As a director, his dark comedy feature film Under the Gun earned the "Official Selection" at the New York Independent Film Festival in Los Angeles and "Best Feature Length Comedy" at the MiniDV Festival. As a writer, he has worked for many independent feature film companies, including NuLight Productions and Mosaic Films. He also adapted The Book of Skulls for the SyFy network.

With bold and unique story telling coupled with an incredible compelling vision, Andrew brings a dramatic and phonological realism to a genre that often lacks that level of care and depth. Playing off established horror archetypes, Andrew is able to bring a new, edgy vision to the horror world while maintaining textured and interesting characters.
