Parker Brennon is an American director, known for his award-winning shorts Haunt Me (2017) and Below the Trees (2018). He primarily writes horror stories and has created two successful Kickstarter campaigns.
In 2016, he earned his BFA from Academy of Art University in San Francisco. His last student film, Elise's Nightmare (2017), screened at Atlanta Horror Film Festival and received a positive review from Graveyard Shift Sisters.
"I always want to see more multi-dimensional women on screen. I grew up with films like 'Carnival of Souls' and 'Let's Scare Jessica to Death,' so atmospheric stories about women inspire my work."
