E.L. Katz got his start in the industry working as a horror/music
journalist for While You Were Sleeping, Fangoria, Creature-Corner, and
Life Sucks Die.
After graduating Full Sail Film School in Orlando, he collaborated with
acclaimed director Adam Wingard on several features as a
screenwriter/producer, including "Home Sick", which was cited by
Fangoria Magazine as being "A gorefest that does what so many recent
low budget shockers only claim to do.", and "Pop Skull", a
psychological ghost story which garnered great reviews from Variety,
Twitch, and Bloody-Disgusting.
His directorial debut "Cheap Thrills", starring Pat Healy, Sara Paxton,
David Koechner, and Ethan Embry, premiered at SXSW where it won the
Midnighter Audience award.
