Van Galex is a Florida-based filmmaker residing in Tampa, with ties to Orlando, and Miami. Striving to unnerve audiences with his films, Galex implements elements heavily inspired by the avant-garde techniques of Theatre of Cruelty. With a BFA in Narrative Film Production from the University of Central Florida, Galex has written, directed, edited, sound designed, set designed, and produced a technicolor horror nightmare [Don't Answer] and a hauntingly beautiful folklore tale [Consummation].

Within Galex's films, one embarks upon a journey that meticulously torments. The objective is to create immersive experiences that provoke introspection. Take a moment to sit with yourself, and ponder upon your role in these dark works. As a voyeur, you find yourself peering into the lives of these tormented individuals - but in doing so, how are you contributing to their suffering? How does your mere presence become an accomplice to their actions? The act of immersing oneself in a film transports. Defy passive consumption. Allow yourself to be consumed by the visceral, the profound, and the disturbing.

Scaring an audience is effortless. However, truly delving into the realms of cruelty is an entirely distinct endeavor.
