Brian Yuzna

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Yuzna (born in the Philippines in 1949) is a director, writer and producer of films. Yuzna grew up in Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Panama before moving to the United States in the 1960s. Most of Yuzna's film work is in the horror genre, though he has also ventured into science fiction. Like his friend and fellow filmmaker Stuart Gordon, Yuzna is a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft and has adapted several Lovecraft stories for the screen.

With Julio Fernández, Yuzna started Fantastic Factory, a label under Barcelona film company Filmax. Yuzna's goal for Fantastic Factory is produce "modestly budgeted genre (horror, sci-fi, fantasy) films for the international market (shot in English language) using genre talent from all around the world and to develop local talent."
