I grew up in the 80’s watching slashers and monster movies with my grandfather. I’ll never forget the laugh of the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt being burned into my young impressionable mind. That began my love affair with the horror genre. In the 90’s I started skateboarding and got into videography making skate videos and putting together clips of me and my friends acting like dumb teenagers. Since those days I have always owned various types of camera equipment.
I worked as a camera operator for the local television company in college and upon graduating I got together with some buddies from high school to film live events and founded Cave House Studios. We started out doing freelance work, but we also made a couple creative projects along the way. In 2010 we produced a short for the 48 Hour FIlm Project, Dead Body Lottery that won best special effects. From 2012-2013 we produced a mockumentary web series, Mystery Adventure Crew. In 2019 we began focus exclusively on our creative narratives and produced the horror short, Succubi Scry. In 2020 we were fortunate enough to put together a small dystopian sci-fi production, Third Wave which we are now promoting into 2021.
