Chris R. Notarile

Short Biography

Chris is a 2005 graduate from the School of Visual Arts. Although he has a BFA in animation, his true passion in life is film. In fact, Chris studied animation at SVA specifically to become a more efficient filmmaker. Majoring in Stop-Motion animation, (a sub genre in which films like "Corpse Bride" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" are made) Chris learned the technique of puppet building, where one must physically fabricate their actors, as well as design the sets.Upon his graduation, Chris had already amassed nearly twenty short film credits to his resume and by 2009, well over 100. With dozens of short films under his belt, including the very popular online horror fan film, "The Nightmare Ends on Halloween", one of 2004`s most talked about videos; The equally popular sequel "Friday the 31st (Michael vs Jason), which received so many online plays that it crashed the Blinky Productions website on two separate occasions; Chris` notorious online film serial, "Catwoman" and the ever popular and fan favorite "Power Girl" series, it was not a far fetch that a feature film would be the next logical step for Chris.In August of 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 beat and bash his victims to death. And where every slasher movie has a killer that slashes their victims, "Methodic" has become the first basher film. Shot for a next to nothing budget, in a record breaking 10 day shoot, Chris made "Methodic" into everything he felt the horror genre represented. "Methodic" hit stores on DVD, world wide September of 2009.Chris is also CEO of Blinky Productions Inc. which operates out of Jersey City New Jersey. He has produced dozens of commercials, music videos and short films under his company`s name.
