The experience of a lifetime... or just one killer summer!


I am a lifelong fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, one of the more formative experiences I first had in horror.


When Peacock’s Crystal Lake was announced with Bryan Fuller and A24 behind it, I felt the same thrill the franchise first gave me — and I couldn’t stop imagining myself being able to direct an episode.


Whether as a Director or 2nd Unit Director, I want to be enrolled in that most famous of summer camps.


I’m sure the Production is already considering a fantastic lineup of filmmakers… but if there’s a chance to get on their radar and work with them, I want to take it.


This is on my website and social media (@dawnchasermediaofficial) to get in front of this show’s fantastic partnership. Reaching them is the goal, and if anyone reading this wants to share this message, I will be eternally grateful.


The best I have to offer is below…


Let’s send me off to Camp Crystal Lake!

Don't get lost in the snow...

Before Crystal Lake was announced, I envisioned an opening scene for a new Friday the 13th movie. It had long gestated in my head, but the announcement of the series finally got me to put fingers to keyboard! I've always loved the more supernatural aspects of Jason -- but no matter the form, I'd hate to be on my own in those New Jersey woods...


Knowing the material is key when directing anything, and I hope you can feel my passion and reverence from Frost Bite's first to last page.

HERE BE MONSTERS

Bryan Fuller's Hannibal is a sumptuous feast from beginning to end, and gave me the push to write and direct this short film.


The character of Luna wears her ferocity on her sleeve and embraces it deliciously. The joy of horror, the macabre, and all its complexities is on full display -- and I believe it proves why I can add to Crystal Lake's blood-stained legacy.


When I imagine the style of Crystal Lake, this was the film I felt could be closest. Here's to hoping that's right and that you enjoy!

The hero of A24

I can't overlook a connection to A24!


I was a Production Assistant on A24's 20th Century Women, and in this video I will make it so abundantly clear that I was the integral figure in getting the movie made! Obviously!

My post on 2/14/23 detailing my love of Friday the 13th and horror in general!

THANK YOU

If you made it this far, I cannot thank you enough. A dream becomes reality when taking action, and something as simple as you scrolling through this is action enough. Here is to bridging the gap! See you at summer camp!
