Autorenporträt
Studied Film at Emerson College, Boston, USA. Shot several horror shorts in the early 1980's. Grew up on a diet of horror films of the 70's and 80's and wrote Zibahkhana as an homage to the films that made an enormous impact on the director. Essentially the film is a love letter to the low-budget horror films of Tobe Hooper, Sam Raimi, George Romero, Lucio Fulci, Sam Raimi etc.
