Tor Ramsey
- Director
- Writer
- Producer
Tor Ramsey graduated from North Carolina State University, lettering as
a Manager in Men's Varsity Basketball under legendary coach Jim Valvano
before discovering his true passion of writing for the entertainment
media.
"Ramsey in Reality" hit the airwaves on WKNC in Raleigh, featuring outlandish sketch comedy and parody in the vein of Stan Freberg and "Saturday Night Live". Ramsey received a Certificate in Filmmaking from New York University before signing with several literary agents in the process of writing screenplays that never sold. In 1995, Ramsey threw out the rule book and wrote a movie after his own heart and personality, _Urban Mythology (1999)_. After moving to Los Angeles shortly after production of the film, Ramsey gathered the resources to shoot a 30 minute episodic, which eventually became the series pilot for "The White Chick and The Haole Crew". Ramsey later found work as a script doctor for several projects such as the kid's caper movie Snoopers, then returned to familiar territory directing and producing outrageous comedy sketches for E!'s Talk Soup (1991). In 2000, Ramsey earned his second gig as director, for the feature _Children of the Living Dead (2001)_ in which he learned how to survive under the worst of all possible conditions while still delivering a completed film. 'Children' was released by Artisan Entertainment in October 2001. Ramsey considers himself to be first a writer, then an Editor and then a Director --- in that order. He is currently developing a series concept called "Dead Michigan" and a new feature about con artists called Gypies Tramps And Bail-Jumpers.
