About Jeremy
Writer/Director Jeremy Sumrall has worked in independent film since 2007, when he was cast as the hulking masked killer known as "The Beast" in the award-winning slasher flick SWEATSHOP, which made him fall in love with the nuts-and-bolts of filmmaking.
After his star turn (which earned him the title BEST VILLAIN by VIRUS MAGAZINE in Germany in 2012), Jeremy moved behind the scenes, working as a producer on several features (such as JACOB starring Michael Biehn) and award-winning short films, before taking his own turn at directing.
In 2013, Jeremy caught the eye of FANGORIA MAGAZINE with a provocative tribute to 80s slasher flicks in the form of a poster (created by infamous horror artist Marc Schoenbach) for a then-unrealized movie called THE PICKAXE MURDERS PART III: THE FINAL CHAPTER, which was scripted as a sequel to a movie that never existed. With the sudden interest in his work, Jeremy completed the script and over the course of the next year, several genre stalwarts would sign onto the project. Even radio legend Howard Stern would give it a nod, as Stern Show employee Sal Governale was cast as a sleazy gas station owner. The love-letter to 80s slasher films was eventually released under the simplified name PICKAXE in 2019 from Wild Eye Releasing and subsequently enjoyed a lengthy stay near the top of Amazon's Best Selling Horror DVDs, reaching as high as #18.
In 2012, Sumrall founded the production company FIRST WEEK OF WINTER FILMS, and has directed several award-winning short films, as well as music videos for bands he's been a fan of for years. In addition to various projects in pre-production, he has a feature film ready to launch into immediate production, once quarantine guidelines have lifted.
