Travis Stevens

Since 2010, Travis Stevens has produced a wide range of award-winning genre films that have played the Toronto International Film Festival, Cannes Director's Fortnight, Sundance, SXSW, Telluride, Tribeca, Fantastic Fest, AFI and other prestigious festivals. Working with actors such as Rami Malek, Alisha Boe, Cleopatra Coleman, Kaniehtiio Horn, Alex Essoe, Lin Shaye, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kate Lyn Sheil, Pat Healy, Ethan Embry, David Koechner, DJ Qualls, Sheila Vand and Beth Grant, each of these projects sought to expand the artistic potential of the modern genre film. In 2019, his writing and directing debut Girl On The Third Floor premiered at SXSW to great reviews ("The best of the (Midnighters) program" RogerEbert.Com) and then traveled the world. Acclaimed for its visual design, practical effects and wicked sense of humor, it won both a Fangoria Chainsaw Award ("Best First Feature") and Brooklyn Horror Film Festival Award ("Best Gooey Effects") before terrifying audiences on Netflix (becoming the #2 most watched film on the streaming service and remaining in the top 10 for over a week). His writing/directing follow-up Jakob's Wife, stars genre legends Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden and Bonnie Aarons. It will premiere at SXSW in 2021 before a worldwide release in Spring 2021. Stevens has been a guest panelist at the Brussels International Co-Production Market, the Fantasia Frontiers Market, the IFTA Production Conference, the Stanley Film Fest, SXSW, Shudder Labs and the Hollywood Black Film Festival. He's also served as film juror for a wide variety of genre film festivals including Fantastic Fest, PiFan, Fantasia, the Stanley Film Fest, the Oldenburg International Film Festival and the Strasbourg International Film Festival.
