John Langridge, a talented individual with a background in acting, initially pursued a career in the field before transitioning to directing after further education at Panico/London Film Academy.
He made his directorial feature debut in 2011 with the darkly comedic film "Four," written by Paul Chronnell, produced by Raiomond Mirza for Oh My Productions, and starring Martin Compston, Craig Conway, Sean Pertwee, and Keirston Wareing. The film received positive reviews and was distributed in the UK by High Fliers and internationally by WTF Films.
In 2015, John co-founded the production company Drop Dead Films with partner Emily Wells, which produced two award-winning short films: "Feminine Incite" (2016) and "Burned" (2016).
John Langridge's multi award-winning psychological horror feature "13 Graves" premiered in June 2019. Distributed by Evolutionary Films, it starred Michael McKell, Terri Dwyer, Kevin Leslie, Jacob Anderton, and Morgan James. The film won Best Feature at the Queen Palm International Film Festival 2018, and John was also nominated for Best Director and Best Writer. At the Independent Horror Movie Awards 2018, it won Best Feature, and John was again nominated for Best Director and Best Writer. In the Top Indie Film Awards, he was also nominated for Best Director and Best Writer.
Drop Dead Films has four further projects in development: the home invasion horror "Thorns," a post-apocalyptic thriller "Riverman," the creature-horror "Firelight," and a hi-tech thriller "Autonomous."
