DIRECTOR: Leonard Kabasinski


Len Kabasinski is a native of Erie, PA. Len earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communications & Theatre and also holds an Associate's Degree in Science. Len got his start working in broadcast television in Pittsburgh, PA after three years in Pittsburgh; Len moved to Buffalo, NY to accept a positron in broadcast television there where he also spent 3 years before returning to his hometown of Erie, PA. Len holds a black belt in Tae Know Do/Tang Soo Do and also earned a certificate with the Society of American Fight Directors (for certification in Unarmed Combat, broadsword combat, & rapier/dagger combat). For "Swamp Zombies", Len was responsible for securing the services of "name" talent. Len went on to book Brian "blue meanie" Heffron, Jasmin St Claire, Pamela Sutch, & Dan "the beast" Severn for the film. Growing up, Len enjoyed movies produced by A.I.P. Films (classics such as "Future Force", "Elves", "Return Fire: Jungle Wolf II",.etc. etc.) and when directing "Swamp Zombies" he attempted to create a film that was a throwback to these sort of campy "Drive-In Cinema" types of films. Len loves martial arts/horror/sci-fi films and tried to incorporate a little bit of everything in "Swamp Zombies"; which he also wrote the script for as well. KillerWolf Films then signed SWAMP ZOMBIES over to Maxim Media/Brain Damage Films where it has enjoyed a great deal of success in a short amount of time (it was just released in May 2007) and is available at numerous online retailers (NetFlix, Best Buy, Circuit City, Suncoast, etc.) as well as can be seen on broadcast television overseas in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Ireland. For his second feature, CURSE OF THE WOLF, Len secured the talents of WWF legend Lanny Poffo, erotic cinema icon Darian Caine, and from SWAMP ZOMBIES Brian "Blue Meanie" Heffron. For CURSE OF THE WOLF, Len ran the film's set in a manner that the entire film was to be shot within ten days and then off to commence an eight-week post-production phase. The plan worked as CURSE OF THE WOLF debuted on the festival circuit at the 2006 Great Lakes Film Festival and took home the "Best Horror Feature" award at the event. Again, KillerWolf Films signed CURSE OF THE WOLF over to Maxim Media/Brain Damage Films and it was just released in September 2007 already securing home video deals in the territories of Russia and South Africa as well as broadcast deals in the United Kingdom. FIST OF THE VAMPIRE marks Len's third directorial effort. It contains a great deal more production value than his previous works as shown by the over 250 special effects shots in the film which included live on-set effects, green screen effects, and digital post-production special effects. For FIST OF THE VAMPIRE, Len called on killerWolf Films veteran's Darian Caine and brian "Blue Meanie" Heffron to provide some "punch" to the film. All actors in the film completed their own stunts, with all of them learning the intricate fight sequences that were choreographed by Len himself. The film completed principal photography within 9 days and then went into a 6 month post-production period filled with digital effects & compositing. Len has plans for KillerWolf Films next production to start filming in the Summer of 2008.
