About the Director/Producer
John
Foutz began making both stop-motion and live-action
short films with his dad's Super 8mm film camera when he
was in 7th grade and wrote his first feature length screenplay
in high school, devising ways to make all the practical
effects work, but then found out how much it costs to make
a feature length film. The production was shelved but John
saw this as a lesson learned and never gave up on his dreams.
By '02, John officially made his way back to moving pictures,
writing, producing, directing, shooting, and editing his
own short films and teaching some acting classes. Seeing
the freedom in shooting and editing digitally, John teamed
up with fellow creative Hannah Dennis in '03 to Produce/DP
her feature film “Bird in a Glass House” with
Hannah at the directing helm. In '04, John purchased better
gear and directed the feature film “Mind Breaker”
for Shadowdog Productions, which starred Vanelle. Since
then, John has directed five feature films for Shadowdog
(Including the award winning feature length comedy “Dirt
Cheap Therapy”) as well as directing numerous
projects for his own company, Foutz Studios, LLC. |
| John's skill set covers every aspect of production
in both the live-action and animation sides of entertainment.
Currently, he is working closely with producing partner
Vanelle (Magic-Tribe Pictures) on numerous upcoming projects,
bringing balance to the force, so to speak, and making Foutz
Studios a smoother running machine. |
