Gary King is a contemporary DIY American filmmaker whose work is known for powerful performances with an emphasis on a strong, visual style.  He has written, directed and produced several critically acclaimed feature films as well as award-winning short films.

In 2009, he made his feature film debut with the ensemble drama NEW YORK LATELY which has been hailed by The Independent Critic as “a remarkable achievement” and Row Three as “a beautiful film.”  It was also listed on Associated Content’s “Best Independent Movies” List — right behind SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.  The film is currently in the 2009 film festival circuit.

With Gary’s ability to skillfully apply his filmmaking craft across genres, Fearmakers hired him to direct the grisly horror film DISMAL.  The film is available On-Demand (TimeWarner and Comcast), has been picked up by Showtime and will have a domestic DVD release soon.  He was also recently hired to helm the action/comedy zombie film DEATH OF THE DEAD for Strange Stuff Productions which will be released in 2010.

Gary is a member of the Workbook Project’s NEW BREED — an indie film movement that consists of emerging filmmakers who are creating their own paths with their exciting work.  The NEW BREED (founded by The Workbook Project pioneer filmmaker Lance Weiler) contains first person insights and accounts dealing with the filmmaking process.

He is currently in post-production on his third feature film WHAT’S UP LOVELY which already has film websites buzzing about its visual style and elegance.  It will be released in 2010.

He is based in Astoria, New York.
