Director Biography - Tonny Vanderavert

As a self-taught filmmaker I spent my childhood goofing around with a camera, some toys and a scale model scenery I build with my father. For as long as I remember, the magic of filmmaking has always been a part of my life.

After a lot of trial and error I gradually learned a lot about films. Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, the Coen brothers and many others have inspired me along the way.

I decided to start making my own films after a few years working as a freelancer for television. I am looking forward to create many more films and become a better director and storyteller.
