CHRIS CRONIN

The recent premiere of his debut feature, 'The Moor,' at FrightFest received stellar reviews, further solidifying his standing in the horror genre. Notably, his previous work, the award-winning short film 'Oscar's Bell,' won Best Short Film at Dead By Dawn, Hollyshorts and the British Horror Film Festival. Additionally, the film was nominated for the Melies d'Argent Grand Prize of the European Fantasy Short Film Award. His short film work can be found on Gunpowder and Sky's horror platform ALTER and Short Of The Week.
Hollywood News applauded Chris's directional finesse in 'The Moor,' expressing, "Cronin's soft and slow approach to the horror aspects worked to make them more startling. With lush misty landscapes in abundance, 'The Moor' was a visual feast and a nerve-wrecking experience." Total Film honoured 'The Moor' with the prestigious title of FrightFest's Best Scare. Recognising Chris's exceptional talent, he was awarded a Best Director nomination.
