Vanessa Griffin - Assistant Director, Script Supervisor

Seng Varipath - Producer, Director of Photography, Editor, VFX

Born on November 12, 1980 Seng moved from Asia(Thailand/Laos area) and came to America with his mom, dad, and younger brother. They lived in Ithaca, NY for a few years before moving to Lowell, MA where Seng currently resides until this very day. Growing up in Lowell was difficult due to all the gang violence and racism that was going on. In the midst of all that was an underground music scene though.

By his teenage years Seng began to get into the rap game and released several controversial songs in the underground. Eventually his passion for the rap game would fade away but his love for the Entertainment world would begin to grow. By his late teens Seng picked up a camcorder for the first time and began to visualize all the possibilities than could come from it. He started first with stop motion animation using Lego kits and an old Hi8 mm camcorder. The outcome shocked him and he knew right than and there that his dream was not only possible but it was destined to come true.

In the winter of 2K5 Seng began shooting a series of horror themed movie shorts called "The Parallel." It was with these no budget shorts that he began to receive attention and S.E.Entertainment would be born. A year later Seng decided to get into music videos(with his past in the underground rap scene he felt he could now offer something to everyone else who was doing what he had done several years ago.)

In March, Seng would team up with Dramatik from WOLVES Entertainment. Dramatik was the first true underground hip hop celebrity Seng new of and was the first person to truly believe in Seng and his Entourage. A couple weeks later a video called "Street Life Pt.2" would be released and that is the moment everything changed. It became an instant underground favorite and would receive several thousand views and establish S.E.Entertainment as the new kings of the underground video (well at least in Massachusetts.) That summer Seng created his own internet tv show called S.E.tv(aka MySpace TV) he would team up with Nick Dz who he had met years earlier at Blockbuster. The episodic internet tv show would garner attention from all over and it is here that S.E.E. would begin networking with several companies including ScreamKings Productions and SureFire Music Group, who they still work with on projects with to this very day.

In the Fall of 2K6 S.E.Entertainment decided to get back into the movie scene and decided to do a fan film called "Resident Evil: the secret diary" It starred Nick Dz, Dramatik, Kali, Maureen "Moe" Crocker, and Brandy. It was released that October and once again the underground scene was moved. Even though the movie was rushed and full of flaws it showcased their raw talent and was the first RE fan film to be any good.

In 2K7 Red Scream Films would approach S.E.Entertainment for a collaboration on a full length feature. This project would be called Red Scream Vampyres and what would start out as a small project would grow into what some are calling, "the Most Anticipated Horror Movie of the Year." Shooting in the new ProHD format and starring Satu with music and sound design from SureFire Music Group this indie film will do something amazing when people finally get to see it. This is only the beginning for Seng, S.E.Entertainment, and a whole newbreed of filmmakers destined to change the industry.

Raised on a diet of horror and sci-fi, Tony Mandile was exposed to some of the greatest movie monsters at a very early age. There was never a moment when he wanted to do anything else other than be one of the special artists responsible for creating those fantastic characters on the silver screen. Working from books and magazines, Tony began experimenting with makeup and honing his skills over the years.

In 1995, he landed his first job creating various realistic trauma makeups on the independent film “A Better Place” for View Askew Productions. Since that first film, Tony has gone on to create special effects for a variety of feature films as well as short and student films, including “Broken Lizard’s Club Dread” for Fox Searchlight. He has also been serving as the makeup supervisor for Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey during their annual Fright Fest Halloween celebration for the past seven years. In 2001,

Tony directed his first feature film “Midnight Mass” which was released by Lions Gate Entertainment. 2006 saw the formation of Anatomy FX with partner Jessica Swarer, a company dedicated to continuing to pushing the limits of special effects in the independent world as well as developing a retail line of props and prosthetic appliances to be made available to other makeup artists. Tony also plans to continue writing and directing more feature films in the near future.

 

Jessica Swarer - FX

I was raised on the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ which made for an interesting upbringing to say the least. Always being around the carnival lifestyle has to warp you at least a little. When my parents decided to open a haunted house ride when I was 14, I knew I found my calling. I got to meet some people during the construction of the props and special effects that opened my eyes to a whole new career that I never realized existed. I fell in love with being able to scare people by making dead people.

So being that Halloween always being my favorite holiday and everyone asking me to help them with there make-up I decided to trek to Orlando Florida and attend Joe Blasco Make-up Center and attempt to learn how to do it the right way. There I learned hands on how to make you look beautiful and disgusting all at the same time. My love for the distgusting prevailed of course and injury simulation became my calling. Once the year in Orlando was over I got my first paying gig making Zombies at Six Flags Great Adventure's Fright Fest and have been going back every year since. From there I have worked numerous projects from student, short and featyre length films, fashion shoots, and even some TV work recreating real life incidents for Americas Most Wanted and the History Channel.

Then the real fun started when Tony Mandile friend, and amazing special FX Artist, and I decided to join forces to create Anatomy FX. So today we work as a team to create all the horrors one can dream of, and if you ask nicely I will step up and make you look pretty too!
