Writer/Director/Actor - Tristan Seever (29) was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. Ever since a young age, Tristan has had a fascination with storytelling and creating visual arts. He has vivid memories from his childhood, when he would create plays and home movies to showcase to his friends and family, self-proclaiming that he would one day become a movie director.
Over the years, Seever would take on many roles as Cinematographer and Editor on various movie projects.
Seever even took on acting roles in 2023 and 2024, working with huge name music artists such as Twenty One Pilots and NF on their latest music videos. Seever worked both in front of and behind the camera with big time directors and cinematographers in the industry, gaining invaluable experience in the process.
Seever is now set to release his first Writer/Directorial debut "CHIMP", a short horror film starring his fiancée Julia Tower. Together, Seever and Tower worked together primarily as a one-man crew and lead actress to create a unique visionary experience unlike anything else in the horror genre. Seever settled for nothing short of exceptional original storytelling throughout CHIMP's 13 minute runtime.
Starring a strong female lead, Julia Tower expertly performs her role with a level of grace and delicacy that helps the audience understand her goals and backstory without needing to use words.
"CHIMP" will be the first of many visionary offerings that Tristan Seever will contribute to the film industry.
My latest short film "CHIMP" has been a labor of love for the past 2 years. My fiancée and I wanted to create something truly unique for horror fanatics (like us) to sink their teeth into.
We knew “CHIMP” needed to ooze atmosphere from beginning to end and never let off the gas pedal. From creating complex miniatures, practical creature effects, to dealing with fire and snow, and complex fight sequences, “CHIMP” proved to be a monumental undertaking. Committed to see it to completion, we poured our hearts and souls into every aspect of production.
We look forward to showing the world what we've been working on with "CHIMP" (an original short horror movie)
