Director Biography - Anthony Misiano, Tyler A. Wallach

This is the third collaboration from Anthony Misiano & Tyler A. Wallach, and their first time co-directing. In 2018’s drama The Verge and 2022’s comedy Brute Force, Anthony served as actor and editor to Tyler’s direction. This time around they knew they wanted to build something together from the ground up.

Writer-Director Anthony Misiano is a multi-hyphenate living in New York City. His last three films, Red Menace, Wendy/Gigi & Part-Time have won multiple awards at festivals worldwide. He is very meticulous and decisive when it comes to filmmaking and takes his work very seriously, but feels if nobody’s laughing on set, something’s terribly wrong.

Director-Production Designer Tyler A. Wallach was born to a family of artists, musicians and filmmakers who instilled in him a love for storytelling. He enrolled in the School of Visual Arts while working as a professional set dresser. He’s production designed commercials, music videos, feature films and has directed numerous critically acclaimed shorts. In 2015 he founded Red Leaf Film, through which he writes & directs while championing projects by other artists. He’s drawn to character driven stories about the daily struggles of ordinary people, whether the outcome is hilarious, harrowing, or more often, a little bit of both.

Director Statement

What are your fears? Not those you tell everyone; Spiders, heights or a zombie hoard. What are your real, deepest fears? That's the question we asked ourselves when writing what became Inheritance. Consequently, it is a story both deeply frightening and extremely personal.

If we succeed in entertaining you, we’re happy to have met the brief, but if Inheritance lingers, leaving you a little shaken, then we’ll feel we've done our job.
