About Erik Kristopher Myers

Erik Kristopher Myers is a filmmaker based out of Baltimore, MD, and an accomplished writer and film theorist. 

His first feature film, ROULETTE, is an award-winning thriller that all told has taken home eight festival trophies, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Film. ROULETTE has received praise from critics, who call it “a complicated, Rubik's Cube of a movie, not to mention a remarkably assured first effort” (The LA Times); “relevant and engrossing…tying the threads together in a satisfying manner, before delivering a wonderful coup de grâce” (Starburst Magazine); and “a low budgeter worth seeking out…Erik Kristopher Myers [is] a filmmaker to watch out for” (Ain’t It Cool News). The film was released in 2013 by R-Squared Films and is available through Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, and other retail outlets. 

For over ten years, Myers has been a popular online writer on the subjects of film and genre theory. He was the head writer and Editor-in-Chief of the now-defunct BloodyNews.com, and a contributor for DaggerPress.com, CHUD.com, CC2K.us, and CaptainHowdy.com. His groundbreaking interview with Paul Schrader on the subject of the auteur's shelved EXORCIST prequel in 2005 was widely quoted in such disparate publications as Variety and Fangoria, and was republished in the Centipede Press series Studies in the Horror Film.
