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.
