'Natural Born Filmmakers' Premieres at the Action on Film International Film Festival on September 19, 2015
“Natural Born Filmmakers” had its World Premiere at the Action on Film International Film Festival on September 19, 2015 at 4:00 Pm on the upper floor of the Krikorian Theatre at 410 S. Myrtle Ave Monrovia CA 91016.

“Natural Born Filmmakers”, written and directed by Steve Oakley, has been nominated for Best Comedy-Feature at Del Weston’s 2015 Action on Film International Film Festival.

Described as both a cautionary tale as well as a spoof, "Natural Born Filmmakers" puts a searing magnifying glass on the workings of Hollywood as it reveals what happens when you mix naive producers, shady investors and carefully calculated contracts. The resulting mix of horror and hilarity makes for a thrilling rollercoaster ride of raging hostilities, blazing guns and…did we mention zombies?

'Natural Born Filmmakers' Nominated for Best Comedy Feature at the 2015 Action On Film International Film Festival
Natural Born Filmmakers, written and directed by Steve Oakley, has been nominated for Best Comedy-Feature at Del Weston’s 2015 Action On Film International Film Festival.

“Natural Born Filmmakers” will have its World Premiere at Aof on September 19, 2015 at 4:00 Pm on the upper floor of the Krikorian Theatre at 410 S. Myrtle Ave Monrovia CA 91016. Tickets are available by clinking the link here.

Horror comes to Hollywood in more ways than one in the story of two filmmakers and their Hollywood dream that turns into a nightmare, replete with zombies.

Described as both a cautionary tale as well as a spoof, "Natural Born Filmmakers" puts a searing magnifying glass on the workings of Hollywood as it reveals what happens when you mix naive producers, shady investors and carefully calculated contracts. And it does it all with a wry sense of self-awareness that hasn’t been captured since “The Bad and the Beautiful.

'Natural Born Filmmakers' Ends with a Bang!
by Dawna Lee Heising

“Natural Born Filmmakers” from Steve Oakley and Grunder-Oakley Productions ends with a scene in the swingers’ club owned by powerful Mob boss Giovanni Bonocore (Domiziano Arcangeli) and his wife Donna (Dawna Lee Heising).

The club is run by suave Russian ex-gangster Nikolai (Jack E. Curenton) and his assistant Markus (Mark Cirillo). Yakuza mobster Kazuko (Guil Claveria) comes to scope out the club with his girlfriend Anna (Brenna Rhea).

Detective Vanessa Ravenwood (Debra Lamb) enters to shake down Nikolai and harass the bad-ass bartender Brenda (Liane Langford), and ends up getting harassed herself by Loxley (Daniel Krause).

Meanwhile, Arlen (Arlan Godthaab) is treating his wife Jana (Diane Chambers) to a special birthday present, with the help of Louis (Terry Opp).

It’s a huge fun-filled, action-packed party scene, filled with vampires, murderers (Gregory Graham, Luciana Lagana and Jonathan Weichsel) and beautiful people, including Deborah Dutch, Joycelyne Lew,...

'Natural Born Filmmaker' wraps Zombie Movie-Within-a-Movie
by MoreHorror.com

Director Steve Oakley describes completed segment of "Natural Born Filmmaker" as "spectacularly Frightening."

Grunder-Oakley Productions has announced it has completed shooting on the first ‘movie-within-a-movie’ segment of “National Born Filmmaker,” at Polymedia Entertainment in Orange, CA. Described by director Steve Oakley, the segment is a bloody zombie revolt—at once “spectacularly frightening” and also tongue firmly planted in rotting cheek.

Described as a cautionary tale as well as a spoof, "Natural Born Filmmaker" reveals what happens when there’s a mix of naive producers, shady investors and carefully calculated contracts. And it does it all with a wry sense of self-awareness that hasn’t been captured since “The Bad and the Beautiful,” a movie blockbuster which also depicts a Hollywood dream that turns into a nightmare. Only "Natural Born Filmmaker" includes zombies and other horror tropes to echo the monstrous side of the business.
