John Veron

Born and raised in Lake Charles, La., John always wanted to tell stories. From an early age he was constantly writing short stories, outlining comics, and dreaming up movies. After high school, he moved to New Orleans to study philosophy, but the need to entertain people never left him.  After several years playing in bands in Austin, TX, John moved to Los Angeles and began working in earnest on a variety of television pilots, feature scripts, and web series. In the meantime, he learned the ropes of feature film production as a set PA, office PA, 2nd AD, and production coordinator on a variety of features and commercials, including Nina, starring Zoe Saldana, The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, and Live Free or Die Hard, where he found himself recruited to stand in for Bruce Willis’ hand in several shots.  Creatively, though, John's always found himself drawn back to his native Louisiana. In addition to the great production environment and tax incentives, Louisiana offers John a unique cultural backdrop against which he tells stories about peoples’ relationships with unfamiliar environments, with the traditions they grew up with, and with their own pasts.  Often in John’s stories, those tensions manifest themselves as spectral Cajun boys or tentacles horrors summoned by forgotten magicks – he’s a horror writer at his core.  But while John is interested in making you jump behind your couch, he’s more interested in using horrifying subject matter to explore the things in our lives we don’t like to talk about, the things we ignore as best we can.  In 2011, John co-wrote and produced East Stackton, a $50,000 short film intended as a pitch piece for an anthology that never came to be.  East Stackton was released in the beginning of 2013, and was an official selection of the RIP Horror Film Festival and the New Orleans Horror Film Festival, where Jared Bankens’ performance won Best Actor. At the end of that year, John wrote, produced, and directed You Can Stay Here, a short tone piece based on a feature script John wrote of the same name.  Currently, John is in post-production on his third short as a producer and second as a director, A Matter of Trust.  All three films were produced in the Lake Area, and John intends to keep making movies there until they kick him out once and for all.
