Writer. Director. Actor. Producer. Designer. Drummer. Journalist. Columnist. MystiCon Alum. Proudest Papa EVER. As Creative Director of the straight jacket-tested and doctor-approved Mad Ones Films from Greensboro NC, Jaysen Buterin’s mission has been to make movies magical again while showing the unbridled kaleidoscopic creativity just waiting to be unleashed when the inmates are finally allowed to run the cinematic asylum. He is the writer/director of award-winning grindhouse indie film fare such as the Tarantino-meets-Twilight Zone short film trilogy, “The Gospel According to Booze, Bullets & Hot Pink Jesus,” the on-the-road black & white thriller, “Between Hell and a Hard Place,” and the sinister stay-at-home horror hits “Don’t Let the Light In” and “The Corner.” He also takes turns in front of the camera, acting in such frightful and delightful film festival favourites as “Knob Goblins,” “Loop,” “Born Again,” “Mama’s Boy,” “Department 666,” “The Hicksorcists,” and “Killer Assistant” He has been awaiting the Hollywood studio release of his very first feature-length film, the coulrophobia-courting/clown-killing thrilling goodness of “Kill Giggles,” while making the film festival rounds with his latest spell of heartfelt movie magic, the powerfully dramatic short film, “The Blue-Eyed Boy and Mister Death”. When he’s not running amok on film sets, or kicking out the jams on stage, he spends as much time as possible at home with his golden goddess of a wife, his beautiful boy who will forever be his most favourite masterpiece, and two devilishly delightful cats who are constantly urging him to save the world, or destroy it… it’s hard to tell with cats sometimes and let’s face it, would either option really be all that surprising?
