Director Biography - Robert Sansivero

Bobby Sansivero is a New York based filmmaker who has been making films since the age of 12. His love of Jaws and Jurassic Park influenced him at this young age to recreate films with his action figures. Bobby received a B.A. in Film & Media Arts from Temple University in 2004. Over the last 14 years he has steadily worked in television and web production creating content for E! Entertainment, NFL Films, Style, R/GA, Showtime and many more. His true passion lays in filmmaking and it was his experience working in reality TV that led to the decision to model his first feature film, 'Wild Men', after its style. Combining horror, comedy and reality TV, the film follows the cast of a hit TV show journeying into the Adirondacks in search of Bigfoot. His current short film, 'The Loyalist' is a complete departure from his comedic projects. It focuses on the Culper Ring during the American Revolutionary War. Bobby currently resides in Queens, NY and works full-time as a video producer and director.
