Writer, Director, Actor – THE DEMONATRIX

Aurelio Voltaire started his career as a stop-motion animator and director in the eighties, at a handful of New York City animation houses, making commercials for Budweiser, Ikea, RC cola, Hess, Parker Brothers, Kellogg’s, Arm and Hammer, Marvel and many others. He made his mark as a director shortly thereafter creating award winning station IDs for MTV including the now classic “MTV Bosch”, establishing Voltaire’s unique style of whimsically dark animation and surreal storytelling. Voltaire went on to direct horror, sci-fi, and Halloween oriented station IDs for SyFy Channel, USA Networks, Discovery, The Learning Channel, Fangoria and others .

After a ten year hiatus (making music, books, comics, toys, etc.), Aurelio Voltaire returned to making films for the love of it. He is presently working on a series of shorts call the “Chimerascope series”. Voltaire’s first feature length screenplay, “Call of the Jersey Devil”, is a live action, horror/comedy feature film Voltaire hopes to direct. The script won “Best Screenplay” at The NYC Horror Film Festival as well as at the Rocky Mountain Horror Film Festival in 2010.

Along with Jeff Ferrell, he co-wrote, co-directed, and acted in The Demonatrix.
