Casper Jean Rimbaud

Filmmaker, poet and novelist Casper Jean Rimbaud was born in Bradford England before emigrating to Melbourne Australia where he developed his crafts working in local theatre, as well as writing in various independent publications and poetry magazines. Having suffered numerous mental health issues throughout his teens, Rimbaud often incorporated themes of mental illness and psychiatric disorder into his work. His first alien abduction horror novel Post Encounter was published in 2015, and was followed with a film prequel High Strangeness which he both wrote and directed. Rimbaud describes his film work as 'psychiatric horror', a horror based in the mind bending qualities of psychosis, imitating actual psychotic and paranoiac states "... for the entertainment of the good folks at home..." His primary cinematic influences include Stanley Kubrick, John Carpenter and Ed Wood Jr.
