Director Biography - Chris Ethridge

Chris Ethridge has directed two feature films and written and directed over a dozen short films and music videos, including an award-winning, authorized adaptation of Stephen King’s short story, “Survivor Type.” His debut feature film, "Attack of the Morningside Monster", received the award for Best Dramatic Horror Film at the Fright Night Film Fest. Regarding his work on "Attack of the Morningside Monster", Ain't-It-Cool-News wrote: "Director Ethridge and Writer Palmer leave just enough black holes in the plot so the killer could be anyone in the film, slowly revealing more and more about the killer and his MO as the body count rises. This is done with a patient and deft hand." Ethridge was honored with the prestigious Esprit de Gore award at the 2018 Nightmares Film Festival. He won Best Director U.S. Feature at the 2019 Austin Revolution Film Festival for his work on his second feature film, “Haven's End”. His most recent work includes the lucid dreaming horror/thriller short film "Moonlight Sonata, with Scissors" and the comedic slasher,“These Colors Don’t Run”.
