About Ti West
Ti West (b. 1980) studied film production at the prestigious School of Visual Arts in New York City. Acclaimed filmmaker and teacher Kelly Reichardt introduced him to underground horror icon Larry Fessenden who struck an immediate interest in West's student films. In 2005, Fessenden produced West's first feature film THE ROOST which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and was sold in a mid-six-figure deal to Showtime and Vitagraph Films. In 2006 West and Fessenden re-teamed to produce the micro-budget thriller TRIGGER MAN which was acquired by art-house label KINO INERNATIONAL. Also in 2007 West was offered to continue Eli Roth's successful CABIN FEVER franchise for Lions Gate Films. Immediately following CABIN FEVER 2 West started production on THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL which is world premiering at The 2009 Tribeca Film Festival.
