Director Biography - Ryan Policky

A Denver native who has always found himself doing whatever was visually bizarre and awkward, Ryan Policky has amassed a huge collection of shorts made under the name "Bloodshed Deathbath". Somewhat on a cult level of weird, the films generally focus on fantasy and sci-fi, with small tid-bits of actual horror. Whether considered confusing or sometimes a bit insane, Ryan indeed intends on creating video such as these horror laced visions of hilariousness until the grave.

Director Statement

I do not condone watching these films and then immediately trying to understand them. I do hope that you watch them numerous times, and re-enact them on a yearly basis.
