Jeremy Sumrall

Personal Bio

Jeremy Sumrall is a fearless, grindhouse-fueled filmmaker who blends horror, action, and sleaze with a wink and a war cry—but he’s also got a soft spot for snow, love, and second chances. Equal parts pulp storyteller and genre alchemist, Jeremy crafts wild, blood-soaked worlds where tough-as-nails women take center stage, monsters drip snot and ichor, and no trope is safe from subversion. With a deep love for the films of Robert Rodriguez, John Carpenter, Andy Sidaris, and Fred Olen Ray, his work straddles the line between loving homage and unhinged reinvention.

Whether it’s a creature feature set in a cursed strip club (Another Night at Beaver’s), a violent revenge flick with operatic flair (Vixen with a Vendetta), a 24-hour ticking-clock action movie about a stripper turned super-soldier (Killer Curves), or even a cozy Christmas rom-com where a magical pen turns fiction into reality (Dreaming of a Write Christmas), Jeremy’s films are unapologetically bold, character-driven, and never lacking in personality.

Behind the camera, he’s a director with a sharp eye for visual style, kinetic pacing, and practical effects—preferring VHS grit over CGI gloss. On the page, he’s a screenwriter with a gift for snappy dialogue, brutal payoffs, and heartwarming reveals that stick the landing. His characters—especially his women—are funny, messy, smart, and dangerous (or occasionally just trying to get through the holidays without falling in love with a guy who wears flannel and builds furniture).

He’s not interested in playing it safe. He’s here to make movies that hit like a shotgun blast or a snowball to the heart—and leave sticky footprints on your soul.
