Jordan Downey

Growing up in Granville, Ohio, Jordan was always drawn to emotional stories hidden in science-fiction and horror films. At Loyola Marymount University, he was an intern under Wes Craven and Marianne Maddalena and his student film Craw Lake starring a young Bella Thorne premiered at the Los Angeles Screamfest. At age 20 he and collaborator Kevin Stewart created their love letter to cult cinema, ThanksKilling. The success of that film led to the sequel being the highest funded horror film on Kickstarter at the time and a live musical spinoff that's sold out venues across the country. Recent projects include Critters: Bounty Hunter, an internet favorite fan film, and Techno Western, a dark crime drama which premiered at the Hollyshorts Film Festival. Jordan's next project, The Head, a medieval set horror film is the director's most ambitious project to date. Show less «
