Movies by Brant Sersen

Brant Sersen is a versatile independent filmmaker known for his genre-blending approach and quirky, character-driven narratives. With a background in comedy, Sersen brings a uniquely offbeat sensibility to the horror, sci-fi, and drama genres, crafting films that defy easy categorization. Sersen's directorial debut, the mockumentary Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2004), showcased his talent for mining humor from the mundane. Blending absurdist comedy with a subtle social commentary, the film established Sersen's penchant for exploring the complexities of human nature through the lens of the absurd. This approach would become a hallmark of his subsequent work, as seen in the darkly comedic sci-fi film Splinterheads (2009) and the haunting psychological thriller Sanatorium (2013). In his most recent feature, the supernatural horror Haunting on Fraternity Row (2018), Sersen once again demonstrates his ability to subvert genre expectations. By infusing the familiar tropes of the college horror film with a sharp, character-driven sensibility, he creates a unique and unsettling viewing experience that lingers long after the credits roll. Sersen's distinctive voice and his willingness to take risks have earned him a reputation as a filmmaker to watch, a storyteller who consistently challenges the boundaries of traditional genre filmmaking.
