Background

Originally hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Cain directed his first feature, Naked Beneath the Water which he used to graduate the cinema program at San Francisco State in 1995. This film was a very low budget psychological horror film, was shunned by his colleagues at college, but sold well on VHS through underground horror magazines such as Film Threat and Alternative Cinema.

In early 2002 that Cain saw many of the low budget horror titles originally released on VHS were finding new life on DVD. Re-shooting about 60% of Naked Beneath the Water he finally achieved proper distribution on DVD in 2008. Cain now resides in Los Angeles where he created Velvet Hammer Films with his longtime business partner, Jim Wright. Since 2008 he has gone on to direct six more films, Silent Night, Zombie Night,[2] (with The Walking Dead alumnus Lew Temple) Breath of Hate,[3] (which stars Jason Mewes, best known from the Kevin Smith films as "Jay") and SyFy fare such as Jurassic City,[4] (with Ray Wise) Terror Birds,[5] Eruption LA.[6] Cain's seventh film, Dead By Dawn[7] is getting back to his horror roots. He has also served on numerous horror projects as a producer and in 2009 was dubbed the 'Indie Horror Specialist' by Michael Gingold at Fangoria.

gollark: They read a fixed-sized subset of what recommender algorithms/their preferences/filter bubbles bring to their attention.
gollark: However, this probably isn't actually true because people don't read news randomly selected from all published news.
gollark: Not necessarily. If we assume that there are some amount people of devoting some fixed amount of time hours a day to reading news, and right now it's 90% real/10% fake, and writing 5x more content would push it to 80%/20%, that would be bad.
gollark: Which won't necessarily go faster just because you can write a few times more.
gollark: People actually spreading your content, quite possibly?
