John
Bailey: Creator / Producer / Director
John Bailey is by trade a Freelance Promo Producer in the New York City area.
For the past several years John has been working for the Marketing Department
of the Sci Fi Channel, owned and operated by NBC Universal. He writes, produces
and edits promotional spots for various programs broadcast on the channel including
Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica, The Dead Zone, Ghost
Hunters, The Outer Limits as well as many others. Prior to his current long
running position with the Sci Fi Channel John has written and produced for various
media outlets including USA Network, Scifi.com, MTV, VH1, and Nickelodeon.
For a brief time John was involved in the production of Exposure, a weekly show
which aired for 2 seasons (2000 thru 2002) on the Sci Fi Channel. This inventive,
weekly hour long program was designed to showcase the early short film works
of today's famous film makers and television visionaries as well as the works
of up and coming unknowns: the potential writers, producers, and directors of
tomorrow. It was while working on this show that John was inspired to make a
short film of his own.
A huge fan of the sci fi and action genres in general, John chose to blend his
favorite elements from both in order to create a world where his story could
take place. Once a concept was established John sought the help of his friend,
Geo W. Proctor, a writer and artist living in Texas. Together they worked out
the basic idea and Geo developed the first screenplay for Shadow Kill. John
then called upon the talents of several of his friends and coworkers to bring
his vision to life. For over three years they worked together to shoot and extensively
post produce Shadow Kill.
