William Kish
Will’s life was massively influenced by film growing up. His earliest formative memories are of watching films like Godzilla, King Kong, Jaws, and Jurassic Park. This led him to pursue art and film and eventually to form Mayhem Pictures with Jake Limone. There he was able to express his love of sci-fi/horror through the development of several short films, going as far as designing and constructing original monster costumes. Will also directed two stop-motion music videos for local indie pop band, Similar Kind.
