Drew Mylrea movie list

Drew Mylrea grew up in Santa Cruz, California. At the age of thirteen he was given his first opportunity to direct and promptly turned his middle school daily bulletin into a gruesome display of amateur action cinema filled with blood and violence. After a week, his role was revoked. Attending UCLA, Mylrea majored in theater and studied improvisation, culminating in the short film 'Arnold and the Alps'. A dry comedy filmed during his senior year at UCLA, 'Arnold' premiered at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth and scored the 'Best Directing' award at New York's prestigious VisionFest. Mylrea followed this up two science fiction shorts: 'Lisa' - a character study of one scientist's quest to create the perfect woman (CIFF, Dark Matters FF), and 'Next Door' - a dystopian comedy about the joys of subordination (Short of the Week premiere, RAW FF). Mylrea's shorts have seen over a million views online, and are revered in comment-sections for their wit and dark humor. For his feature film debut, Mylrea directed 'Spy Intervention', a send-up of the spy-genre, perhaps best described by its Film Threat review: "It is clear Mylrea had fun showing his style. He also has a keen sense of tone, so the more dramatic moments still feel authentic amid the fast-talking, silly visual gags, and slick action." 'Spy Intervention' was released domestically in theaters, on all major platforms, and is still a favorite on pirating sites everywhere. Mylrea moved back to science fiction for his second feature, 'Last Survivors'. Starring Alicia Silverstone, Stephen Moyer and Drew Van Acker, Last Survivors is a post-apocalyptic thriller premiering at UK's FrightFest, with distribution by Vertical Entertainment. Filmed in the remote Montana wilderness, 'Survivors' is a tense, timely thriller about the perils of isolation.
