About Me

http://www.johnnyterris.com

I am a filmmaker/actor/writer; I started doing underground short films in 1989 when I was 14 years old; left home at 16 armed with a foot high mohawk and a stolen videocamera and haven't stopped since. My early films viciously delved into the blood-soaked/shock-slicked combo of transgressive punk-styled nihilistic violence and complete annihilation of family values and structure.
I own Terfer Productions, have released seven films through the company and am currently working on two new films for summer 2008. I am also currently in the process of completing a biography entitled Sinister Splendor & Broken Glass.
In summer 2008 I have the honor to play the infamous Jack The Ripper on stage in New York City as well as starring in the feature film "Enigma", both produced by internationally acclaimed playwrights JB Landry & Brian Gazeley.
Cheers.
