Director Biography - Edward Brody Almon

I was a freshman at Montana State University when I wrote and directed Compos Mentis. My script was selected in the sophomore production class, and I had the pleasure of assembling a team of other hardworking students. Who were integral to bringing the lines to life.

Director Statement

I wanted to play with the lines between reality and what goes on in one's head, with a heavy use of practical gore.

This was not an easy film to make, but I'm glad I did.
