Director Biography - Kyle Rankin

After directing Shia LaBeouf in The Battle of Shaker Heights, Kyle Rankin wrote and directed Infestation for Mel Gibson, Nuclear Family for Michael Eisner, and created the viral videos Hellholes, Case Tape #347, and Exhibit B-5 (which led to a writing gig for Jeremy Renner & Indian Paintbrush). In 2015, Kyle produced and directed the ultra-low-budget feature Night of the Living Deb (now streaming on Netflix), then joined producer Scott Taylor for 2018's The Witch Files. Dallas Sonnier (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99) will produce Kyle's next film: Run Hide Fight (currently casting). Kyle lives in Encino with his wife and daughters.
