Brandon Salisbury

An independent Writer, Director, and Producer from Pennsylvania, Brandon Salisbury grew up immersed in classic horror films such as The Fog, Creepshow, and Alice Sweet Alice due to his mother’s passion for the genre. At the age of 5, he experienced the classic George A. Romero film, Night of the Living Dead, after obsessing over the VHS artwork. It was primarily his research on George A. Romero, both in film style and personality, that Brandon cites as the reason he decided to pursue film as a career. Brandon also cites The Making of Jurassic Park, HBO First Look episodes, and various special programming on practical special FX as additional inspirations for his career choice.

After twelve years of service as a United States Marine and Pennsylvania Army National Guardsman, Brandon chose to begin a YouTube channel focused on his love of film. During that time, he created a video discussing the unproduced George Romero script for Resident Evil. Dissatisfied with the video, he gathered financing, research, and crew, deciding that a feature length documentary could be possible. The result, George A. Romero’s Resident Evil, released in 2025 to positive reviews and coverage by Fangoria, Rue Morgue, Delirium, Bloody Disgusting, Deadline, and even CNN.

Brandon has partnered with Filmmaker Tom Robenolt on several projects. Most recently, Brandon Produced Blacktop Summer, and Financed, Produced, and provided Special Make-Up Effects for Whistle to the Maples. In 2024, Salisbury signed a deal to direct an adaptation of the cult horror game FAITH: The Unholy Trinity by Airdorf Games, again with Tom Robenolt in a continued partnership.
