About
John R. Hand and JRH Films John R. Hand is a native Northwest Floridian; in fact he was born in the very same hospital where Martha Beck worked as a nurse before she met up with Raymond Fernandez and became the "Lonely Hearts Killers." Martha's old house is still there at the bottom of Berry Hill right down the way from the hospital and there's still a few old timers who remember that lady who did those bad things so long ago. Northwest Florida is like that, a weird kind of netherworld in a sense. You might never guess that Joe Dallesandro was born just down the way in Pensacola, but he was. Again, a few people talk about this but not too many know or care. Anyway, Mr. Hand has loved film for most of his life. He formed JRH Films in 2005 with the goal producing work with a unique style which incorporates elements of both conventional narrative and experimental cinema. His debut feature-length film which he photographed in Super-8, Frankensteins Bloody Nightmare, garnered a peculiar degree of underground acclaim for it's annoying combination of surrealist logic and vintage horror set-pieces. Joe Leydon wrote in Variety that the film "...plumbs the lower depths of awfulness to a degree unmatched by pictures merely inept and/or pretentious" and could "become a cult item by dint of its befuddling cruddiness." Hand is currently working on new films to further annoy all types of people. Press Fangoria
