  • Sam Gianfala

    Sam fell in love with horror when he watched John Carpenter’s Halloween, and at 12 years old, he decided he wanted to make horror movies. He grew up in baton rouge, la, but moved to los angeles in 2018 to study film production at loyola marymount university,  graduating in 2021. There, Sam further developed his filmmaking point-of-view and decided that all of his horror films going forward would highlight LGBTQ storylines and characters. Sam created Black Lodge Productions with the release of his debut short film Fierce! in 2021, and he is committed to making queer people as visible as possible through the genre that he loves.
