Filmmakers Bio:
Who is Steven Cerritos?
I am an independent filmmaker living in Toronto, Canada. Just like many independent filmmakers, I write, direct and edit most of my projects. Over the last couple of years, I have created two shorts ‘Cerritosis’ and ‘In Darkness’. I am currently developing and promoting my newest project, ‘The Mister Serial Killer Web’ Series. The first webisode can be seen at www.enityfilms.com/misterserialkiller. My style can be summarized as dark and absurd. Garth Ennis’ writing, Mark Ryden’s artwork, Joel-Peter Witkin’s photography, and Clive Barker, Beatrix Potter and Kentaro Muira’s dark and imaginative worlds have been big influences in my life.
The Mister Serial Killer Web Series Press Release:
The Mister Serial Killer Web Series debuts with its first episode, “The Happy Face Killer”. Mister Serial Killer is a disturbing and psychotic web series featuring a group of serial killers, each with different
variations of psychological complexities and perversions. The first episode can be seen at www.enityfilms.com/misterserialkiller.
First Episode Summary:
Meet the Happy Face Killer! He’s a strange, confused but lovable little serial killer who’s always looking to cause mischief and mayhem! Along with Allegra (his secret, secret crush) and her wacky, silly friends, the Happy Face Killer will discover the importance of cathartic anarchy, love, relationships and existentialism all while having a ton of f-fu-fun! (Run time: 22 minutes.)
The cast stars Charles Lo’Manto as The Happy Face Killer, Katherine Scott as The Mistress, Christopher Lee Grant as BJ Randalls and the film’s narrator, Frank Von as Duncan Watters, Gabriel DiFabio as Bert Martins, Jerry Potter as David Richardson, and Doug Millar as Wilfredo Cromwell.
The first episode is composed by S. Peace Nistades, produced by Anthony Colantonio, and written and directed by Steven Cerritos.
Can you tell us what inspired you to come up with the concept of “The Happy Face Killer?
‘The Happy Face Killer’ spawned from my fascination with the serial killer genre and my desire to create a universe filled with over-the-top stylized serial killers. I originally had the story
penned a while ago but I never really had the titled character figured out. I found it difficult to create and understand an anarchistic and unconventional character. Eventually, one year later, I had him
figured out to an extent and had the confidence in Charles Lo’ Manto, the actor playing The Happy Face Killer, to move forward with the project.

The series is going to introduce a couple of more characters, each with their own unique complexities and perversions. After introductions, expect bigger and crazier story lines!
What does the future hold for Steven Cerritos?
I originally wanted to work my way into the feature length realm but I think I’m going to stick to working on series. It’s extremely rewarding to create a world and see an audience embrace it
and make it their own.
