Director's Statement:
A WOMAN OF COLOR WITH A PASSION FOR HORROR: I am a Puerto Rican horror filmmaker from El Barrio/Harlem NYC aka Slaughter Cin, Latina empress of gore with www.horrortourguide.com and www.womenofcolorinhorror.com I've been a writer, director, producer, and special effects makeup artist for nearly two decades. Over the years, I've specialized in a lot of horror shorts (most you can find online), but the time has come for me to broaden my horror horizons thus launching our official BSF site with my twisted team, for our ongoing and upcoming endeavors ! I tend to create films/stories about my community, background, culture and life or topics that inspire me. I have an extreme fascination with the horror genre and related subgenres. I feel it's one of the most immersive, cathartic and all encompassing genres created in film/tv. It's also a genre that lacks ample representation for people like me, but I'm hoping to change that some day soon! If you're tired of the same horror and craving content with bonafide originality, than look no further! I'm here to deliver some killer content for your viewing pleasure and I promise not to disappoint!
Gabriel Cymbalista
Film Editor
My name is Gabriel Cymbalista. Since I was young I loved cinema and passion for filmmaking. I am also a pianist as of an early age, so in this hobby turned profession, I've had the pleasure of combining my two biggest loves: cinema and music. I've already worked on three films for Bloodstained films. Two of them documentaries one called 'Horror Able' and the other 'Horror Able Women' about filmmakers and artists in the horror film industry with disabilities as well as true crime thriller currently in post production. As someone who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome when I was very young, working on the Horror Able documentaries was very special to me. At this moment, I am working as a video editor, videographer, and photographer, as I have for years now. As of October 2022 I was brought onto the Bloodstained films crew. We have several upcoming projects in the works I am very much looking forward to be a part of. It's been a pleasure working for Cindy Sanabria and as part of the Bloodstained Films crew.
