Steven Cerritos' Online Portfolio

Bio: I am an independent filmmaker living in Toronto, Ontario. Although I consider Toronto my hometown, I was born in Los Angeles, California. Just like many of today's independent filmmakers, I write, direct and edit most of my projects. I'm also dabbling with animation and illustrations as well. Over the last couple of years, I have created three short films, "Cerritosis" , "In Darkness" & "Roachfar", while also developing and promoting my newest project, "The Mr. Serial Killer" series. My films have been in many small festivals around the world and have received many, many positive reviews. "In Darkness", my second film, secured a distribution deal with OUAT media, while the "The Happy Face Killer", part of the "Mr. Serial Killer" series, won me a place on AF Magazine's Top Ten List. My style can be summarized as dark and absurd. Garth Ennis’ writing, Mark Ryden’s artwork, Joel-Peter Witkin’s photography, and Clive Barker, Beatrix Potter and Kentaro Muira’s dark and imaginative worlds have been big influences in my life.

Cerritosis (2007) Although released in 2007, this really was my very first project, as it was shot in 2005. We shot this on Beta SP and Mini DV. The film was edited on FCP. I was the writer, director, and editor of this film.
