Syd VanRoosendaal

Syd has had a strong passion for storytelling through horror films since they were a child, having access to Spy Hop Productions was something they did not take for granted. They grew up to work at the local arthouse theaters and go to Salt Lake Community College's Film Program, graduating in 2020 and working in the industry in development or production design on other projects for over 5 years.

I Have Bad Dreams

Creator: Syd VanRoosendaal
There was a point in my co-writer's and I's friendship where our dreams began to sync up. The more it happened, the more we began to develop this story and involve themes of grief and friendship that Salem, my co-writer, and I have experienced firsthand. We also have a deep appreciation for A Nightmare on Elm Street. We have a feature script written with the same characters and themes, we are in the process of raising money for that film to be made in the next year.
