Who runs this myspace page?
My name is Dean Bertram. I'm a director of both Lovecraft 21C Productions and A Night of Horror International Film Festival, but the info on this page represents my own personal and eclectic tastes. I love film, particularly horror. And after having recently completed my PhD at The University of Sydney, I have returned to filmmaking and horror film promotion in a full-time capacity. I'm also a freelance writer, and have written for a number of national and international publications including: The Australian, People Magazine, Fortean Times, and The Australian Financial Review.My most recently completed film, and the first that I have directed under the Lovecraft 21C banner, is FORESTA ROSSA: A dark fairy tale about a girl lost in a forest and the terrible sacrifice that she must make. The Italian title is an intentional homage to that country's history of extarodinary horror cinema.
