Chris R. Notarile
Born 1982-10-26 · Jersey City - New Jersey - USA
Chris is a 2005 graduate from the School of Visual Arts, with a BFA in animation, which he specifically acquired to become a more creative, diverse, and efficient filmmaker. Majoring in Stop-Motion animation, Chris learned various skills & techniques in the art of special FX, from makeup & prosthetics, to set design and prop building, which have given him a competitive edge as a filmmaker. To date, Chris has amassed over 400 filmmaking credits. Some of his more notable works include the very popular horror fan film- "The Nightmare Ends on Halloween", a horror short that brings Freddy, Michael, Jason, Leatherface and Pinhead together; the viral PSA- "The Powerpuff Girls", the infamous online film serial- "The Deadpool Webseries" (which caught the jealous eye of 20th Century Fox), and the fan favorite "Krueger : Tales from Elm Street" series, which has been hailed as the definitive origin for Freddy Krueger by fans and ANOS alumni alike. In 2007, Chris began work on his first feature film, "Methodic", which is also (officially) the world's first basher movie- a sub genre of horror created by Chris himself. The phrase was coined after deciding that the killer in "Methodic" would actually bludgeon his victims to death. The film is currently available to watch on Amazon Prime. In January of 2024, Chris celebrated 20 years of filmmaking under his company Blinky Productions Inc, which has collectively produced over 400 short films, commercials, music videos, radio dramas, and several features.
