Gene Blalock · Film Director
Gene Blalock is a Los Angeles-based feature film director whose work blends character-driven storytelling with stylized, atmospheric worlds. His films explore the fragile boundary between imagination and reality, often following outsiders searching for connection, identity, and strength.
"It's more about how the moment feels than what is actually happening. The light leans blue or red. The camera sits slightly wrong. It's about what the moment felt like."
His directing credits include Seize the Night (2022), released by Glass House Distribution; The Nightmare Gallery (2019), distributed by Gravitas Ventures and starring Amber Benson; and the anthology film The Nighttime World (2025), released by Lionsgate. His documentary Seven Days in Mexico (2020) was distributed by Indie Rights.
Gene is the founder of Seraph Films and has directed numerous features, series, and short films across narrative and documentary formats. He is currently completing two new feature films, Keepsake and Development Hell, while developing the series When the Town Stops Dreaming with his co-writer.
"Blalock's visual kaleidoscope puts this among the great exemplars of hallucinema."
