Synopsis:
DANCE OF THE DEAD is a horror/adventure film that takes place on the night of the big Prom-- the dead rise to eat the living, and the only people who can stop them are the losers who couldn't get dates to the dance.

Director's Bio:
Gregg grew up in a small town in Georgia and started making movies when he was 7 years old with his father's film cameras. In high-school, he ambitiously wrote, directed and produced a low-budget feature film at 17 years of age.He is a graduate of the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts Film Production Program. His short film VOODOO has won over 10 film festivals world wide including the Slamdance Film Festival and is now screened for incoming USC film students, along with the short films "THX 1138 4EB" by George Lucas and "THE LIFT" by Robert Zemeckis.When he couldn't get a greenlight for DANCE OF THE DEAD because he was an unproven feature director, he took $15k (profits from his short VOODOO) and funded his own movie to prove he had the chops. That movie was THE OTHER SIDE which premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah and was picked up for a theatrical release. Variety called THE OTHER SIDE "a lean, propulsively paced supernatural thriller, packed with pulse pounding excitement," and it was hailed as "one of the best films of the year" by Hollywood Gothique. After producer Ehud Bleiberg saw his film at the festival, DANCE OF THE DEAD finally came to life.Gregg's next two feature film projects include an action/comedy he is writing with Joe Ballarini and a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller he is currently writing himself.
