To quote John "Remember, it's all make believe and there's a craft to it!"

John Pata is a movie maker right here in the Fox Valley who has made his childhood dream come true....to make horror movies! John and his friends are passionate about film making and have seen some of their projects find success on the film festival circuit and even make it onto VOD platforms!

John dispelled our misconceptions about the kind of person who makes horror films. He is engaging, charming, kind and smart. His love for movies, and specifically horror movies started as a young boy. He cares about our community and he offers inspiration to those who want to create and achieve, right where they are.
