Biography

Jason Eisener (Canada) grew up as a true fan of genre movies who began shooting short films in high school with his friends. After studying moviemaking at Nova Scotia Community College, he turned in several underground medium-length films. In 2007 his career was given a fundamental boost with his successful entry in the competition to create a faux exploitation film trailer at the SXSW festival on the occasion of the screening of Rodriguez and Tarantino’s Grindhouse (2007). Eisener’s entry, Hobo with a Shotgun, not only won, it became a YouTube sensation and was shown as a pre-film at Grindhouse screenings in Canada. After completing his tongue-in-cheek horror short Treevenge (2008) he began work on the feature version of Hobo with a Shotgun.
