Making Short Films for Short Attention Spans

About Me

Devil Monkey Films is a division of a much larger organization.Well, not really. It's a small little project of three amigos who like to travel, attend film festivals, and experience creativity.Collectively, the group has written award winning screenplays like ED'S DEAD AND HE'S HITCHHIKING HOME, A TORRENT OF TEARS, and optioned the horror script WHITEOUT. They've appeared in movies such as TAINTED, COLLISION COURSE, and HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER. On television they've been in local commercials for Ram's Horn and appeared in network specials like WALT DISNEY WORLD'S TENTH ANNIVERSARY in addition to producing nature videos and comedy shows. They've directed local theatre and performed on national stages. They've worked with George Clinton, Howard Shelley, and Robbie Benson and many up and coming performers.If, as C.S. Lewis once said, 'Experience is the most brutal of teachers, but you learn...' then this group of creative minds is one of scholars.
