Jared Carney is a filmmaker, producer, and art director from Fredericton NB and has been an explorer of the strange and grotesque ever since his first visit from his sleep paralysis demon as a child.

From shooting on black & white film to music videos and short films to pinhole photography, Jared adds a little weird to everything he does. His works includes a Stephen King adaptation which screened in Europe & at the World Horror Convention and award-winning "Dark and Stormy Night" which screened at festivals worldwide. One of his latest films "Monday" was met with huge success at the 15 Second Horror Film Challenge & received a personal nod from Troma Entertainment co-founder, Lloyd Kaufman.

The horror genre in particular has always piqued his interest & many of his influences stem from both classic & new-age horror cinema. He was a Features Writer for Horror-Movies.ca and has written for Numero Cinq Magazine. One of his favorite things about horror is the diversity of the people who bring it to life. Jared is the macabre Festival Director of the DBFF.
