GARY KING
WRITER | DIRECTOR | CINEMATOGRAPHER | EDITOR | PRODUCER
Gary King is an award-winning filmmaker whose work is known for powerful performances with an emphasis on a strong, visual style. He has written, directed and produced several critically acclaimed feature films.
In 2009, he made his feature film debut with the ensemble drama NEW YORK LATELY which has been hailed by The Independent Critic as “a remarkable achievement” and Row Three as “a beautiful film” making its Top Ten Films of 2009 List.
With Gary’s ability to skillfully apply his filmmaking craft across genres, Fearmakers hired him to direct the grisly horror film DISMAL. The film has been picked up by Showtime, The Movie Channel, TimeWarner On-Demand and has both a domestic and international DVD release.
He also recently helmed the action/comedy zombie film DEATH OF THE DEAD for Strange Stuff Productions which AINT IT COOL says “delivers a lot of laughs.” THE CREEPTURE FEATURE HORROR SHOW calls it “…an instant classic…” while SOUND ON SIGHT describes it as “a mash-up between a Zucker Brothers comedy and a Troma film…with a surprising amount of heart.”
In 2012, he released HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG which won the Cox Audience Award at the Phoenix Film Festival and gained him the Dan Harkins Breakthrough Filmmaker Award. It has been described as “…a wildly original experience…” (NERD DEPOSITORY) and POP ROX CULTURE calls it “complete brilliance with a kick.” The film is currently in the festival circuit.
