Mini bio

  • John Fallon spent two years learning the technical aspects of filmmaking, and another three years perfecting his craft as an actor through a professional theater program (from which he graduated with honors). His feature length directorial debut "The Shelter" starring Michael Pare from his own screenplay was recently released in theaters, VOD and now on DVD to critical acclaim. The LA Times called it "remarkably ambitious" while Ain't it Cool News said "The Shelter is resonant in tone and spot on in execution!"

    As a director, John also directed the music video for the hit song "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee and the award-winning short film "The Red Hours". He has a series of films at varied levels of development, including the action film EVA, the barbarian adventure film "The Prize" and the bleak period drama "Heretic", having to do with two Templars going through hell after the second Crusade. Many of his screenplays other were produced into films in the past including "Deaden", "Trance" and "American Muscle". John Fallon has also acted in such films as "Saw II", "100 Feet" opposite Famke Janssen, the French hit "Dead Shadows" and the action film "American Muscle".

    Finally, since the year 2000, John has been at the helm of one of the most successful horror movie websites in the world called Arrow in the Head, part of the JoBlo Movie Network, which led him to being a member of the Jury at the Sitges Film Festival, the Fantastic Fest Film Festival among many others.

Quotes

  • When I started acting I loved the art of acting, the process but really hated the business side of it. As time went on I grew to appreciate it more and realize its importance. Now don't get me wrong to make it in this business it takes talent but its more about who you know, how well you network and how good you look that gets you the part. It took me a long time to understand that. If I knew then what I know now, I'd be closer to my ultimate goal. Better late than never I guess.
  • I do what I do, some people like me for it, others hate me for it, that's life. I'm just trying to make a decent living within what I love - films - anything outside of that carries little weight for me
  • For me the internet is not real life, so any negative thing written about me online is fairly inconsequential. It's like I always say; reality is when I boot off the computer and have to deal with bills, projects, deals, crazy girlfriends, big changes in my life etc. That's where my energy goes, that's what matters to me.
