Biography
Michelle Iannantuono is a Charleston, South Carolina based filmmaker and novelist. In both mediums, she leans towards the genres of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, but likes any story told with passion and a great emotional core. Although she's had a camera in hand since the age of 9, she didn't direct her first real short until she was 24. In the years since, she has produced three shorts, one feature, and several music videos. Before switching careers to follow her passion, she was an industrial chemist. When she's not behind the camera or behind the pen, she's probably gaming, making YouTube videos, fangirling something, or politely asking Cthulhu to eat her chaos.
