John Painz : " Stuck "

Born in Brooklyn, NY, John Painz originally wanted to be a comic book artist. To pay the bills he found himself learning how to be a graphic designer, and was one for 15 years. He started his filmmaking career in 2011 with 8 for Vegas, a 9 episode web series he wrote, directed, shot, and edited.

Shortly after, he was hired to shoot three more web series. Off Off, Internet Affairs, and The Thing. With his producing partner Julie Sisson, he produced the short film 5AM, which played at a number of festivals all over the country, and has been shown on two television programs.

In 2013 he shot and edited the award winning feature film Enchantments for director Kelsey O'Brien.

In 2014 John and Julie (along with producer Lynn Mancinelli) produced their first feature film, Stuck, which was accepted to 6 film festivals and has been nominated for a number of awards including Best Feature, Best Actor and Best Screenplay.
