Travis Stevens

Biography

Known for inventive visuals, contemporary themes, and subverting genre tropes, Travis Stevens' work as a filmmaker is both bold and unpredictable. In 2019, his writing and directing debut "Girl On The Third Floor" premiered at SXSW. Starring wrestling superstar CM Punk, the film won a Fangoria Chainsaw Award ("Best First Feature"), before terrifying audiences on Netflix -- becoming the #2 most watched film on the streaming service. His follow-up, the feminist vampire comedy "Jakob's Wife", premiered at SXSW 2021 and was Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The picture won the 2022 Rondo Award for "Best Independent Film" and scored a Critic's Choice Super Award nomination for lead actress Barbara Crampton ("Best Actress in a Horror Movie"), as well as Fangoria Chainsaw Award nominations for "Best Lead Performance" for her and "Best Supporting Performance" for Larry Fessenden. His latest project, the Shudder Original "A Wounded Fawn", stars Josh Ruben, Sarah Lind and Malin Barr. This visually riveting, original horror story premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to rave reviews and sold-out screenings. It was named one of the "Best Horror Films of 2022" by The Hollywood Reporter, the AV Club, Slash Film, Paste Magazine and is Certified Fresh at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. Before focusing on writing and directing, Travis produced a string of well-regarded genre films that include Adam Wingard's "A Horrible Way To Die", the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune", E.L. Katz's "Cheap Thrills", and Sarah Adina Smith's "Buster's Mal Heart" starring Rami Malek.
