Gary King is a contemporary DIY American filmmaker whose work is known for powerful performances with an emphasis on a strong, visual style. He has written, directed and produced several critically acclaimed feature films as well as award-winning short films.
In 2009, he made his feature film debut with the ensemble drama NEW YORK LATELY which has been hailed by The Independent Critic as “a remarkable achievement” and Row Three as “a beautiful film” making its Top Ten Films of 2009 List.
With Gary’s ability to skillfully apply his filmmaking craft across genres, Fearmakers hired him to direct the grisly horror film DISMAL. The film has been picked up by Showtime, The Movie Channel, TimeWarner On-Demand and has both a domestic and international DVD release.
He also recently helmed the action/comedy zombie film DEATH OF THE DEAD for Strange Stuff Productions which THE CREEPTURE FEATURE HORROR SHOW calls it “…an instant classic…” while Sound on Sight describes it as “a mash-up between a Zucker Brothers comedy and a Troma film…with a surprising amount of heart.” The film is currently screening in festivals across the country.
Gary is a member of the Workbook Project’s NEW BREED — an indie film movement that consists of emerging filmmakers who are creating their own paths with their exciting work. The NEW BREED (founded by The Workbook Project pioneer filmmaker Lance Weiler) contains first person insights and accounts dealing with the filmmaking process.
He recently released his latest feature film WHAT’S UP LOVELY which already has critics buzzing about its visual elegance and outstanding performance by lead actress Jenn Dees. Currently, Gary is working on a feature film musical titled HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG which is scheduled to hit the festival circuit and theaters in 2011.
