David J. Green
Born and raised, but not conceived in New York City, David J. Green is a writer-director who loves making audiences laugh. Green's feature directorial debut, Slaughter at Camp Swinelake, a zombie horror-comedy about body image and self-acceptance, was produced by Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger), distributed by Troma Entertainment, and features indie horror favorite Zelda Adams (Mother of Flies, Hellbender). For his documentary short Eugene Gregan: Born Dead, Green interviewed the titular painter as well as legendary actor and Gregan admirer Judd Hirsch. Green's offbeat rom-com short, Gen. Sex (11 mins), starring Jared Gilman (lead of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom) screened at Kevin Smith's SModcastle Film Festival, The Iron Mule Short Comedy Film Festival, and New York Short Film Festival as well as being listed as a semi-finalist to screen at Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival. Green's quirky horror-comedy short, Where Did The Day Go? (12 mins), which he wrote, directed, and starred in, was selected as a quarter-finalist for Ari Aster's Square Peg Social and won the award for Best Horror-Comedy at the 2023 Houston Comedy Film Festival. In 2021, Green's political rom-com, Elephants & Donkeys (7 mins), which he also wrote, directed, and starred in, took home the prize for Best Romantic-Comedy at the same festival. Regardless of the genre, Green's work has the dynamic visuals of an Edgar Wright flick, the raunchy humor of a Seth Rogen comedy, and the emotional sincerity of a John Hughes movie. He is a provocateur with a big heart. B.F.A. Film - The School of Visual Arts, 2023.
