Timothy Friend
Kansas City's own genre master, Timothy Friend, was born in 1963 and has been active in the film industry since the early 2000s. His main oeuvre lies within the realms of horror and science fiction, with his most famous films being "Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula" and "The Horror Within". Though he hasn't snagged any awards at major film festivals, his work is characterized by its unique blend of classic and contemporary horror tropes, often with a tongue-in-cheek delivery. Friend's films, much like the man himself, are underpinned with a quirky sense of humor that makes even the darkest of horrors feel oddly endearing.
