Biography
Ivo Byrt M. (also known as Ivosferatus) is a Chilean filmmaker, screenwriter, and author whose work blends raw emotion, social realism, and supernatural imagination. Born on September 24, 2002, in Santiago de Chile, Ivo discovered his love for cinema at a young age, crafting homemade shorts with a small camera and plush toys. Inspired by childhood favorites like Wall·E, Toy Story, and E.T., he gradually evolved from self-taught creator to formally trained director. Currently studying Filmmaking at Instituto Profesional Arcos, Ivo has written and directed a growing catalog of short films, screenplays, and fiction books, often centered on themes of identity, trauma, coming-of-age, and dark fantasy. His stories are filled with flawed, emotional characters navigating personal turmoil—whether through vampire allegories, fractured friendships, or internal monsters. Whether in film or fiction, Ivo Byrt tells stories that are deeply personal yet universally resonant—about young people navigating a dark world, about monsters real and metaphorical, about love, pain, and everything in between. As he continues to evolve his craft, Ivo invites audiences to explore the beauty in brokenness and the humanity in horror.
