Director Jared Masters has been announced as the recipient of a nomination for Best Director of an Indie Horror Film for his feature film “SLINK”, which he also wrote, by the EOTM Awards committee.  SLINK has also been nominated for Best Scream.  The inaugural EOTM Awards gala will be held at the beautiful Nokia Theatre on Sunday, August 4, 2013. 

Masters is an American movie director, screenwriter, actor, producer, and recording artist. His interest in filmmaking began at age 14 when he directed and edited skateboarding videos, ultimately selling the VHS tapes to fellow students for five dollars. At 15, he began teaching himself piano, and later produced several pop and acid jazz albums under pseudonym J. Riddles.  In 2007 he joined the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and moved to New York, where he landed a few minor roles in feature films and television, and directed several documentaries and short subjects, including “Meet the Freaks at Dreamland Coney Island” (2010) and “The Umbrella” (2010). In 2010 Masters moved to Venice Beach and made his first full-length feature “Climb It, Tarzan!” (2011), one of the rare films to feature an all-female cast. It was immediately followed with “Hollywood A GoGo” (2012) and “8 Reels of Sewage” (2012). Some of Masters' trademarks: retro themes, female empowerment, fetishism, burlesque as an art form, exploitation, voyeurism, society's underbelly, carnival and circus themes, and homages to B movies of the 1960s. “Hollywood A GoGo” and “8 Reels of Sewage” are available at www.amazon.com.
