Story: Jonathan Heap was born in Vancouver, Canada and started as a filmmaker when he was fifteen years old. Immediately drawn to the films of Hitchcock and Kubrick he found himself making horror films and thrillers at Ithaca College. He also developed an interest in comedy after studying the silent geniuses and groups like the Marx Brothers and Monty Python. He formed an improv/sketch troupe that created material for decades culminately in some award winning comedy shorts with name actors. He knew early on that his passion in life was for cinema of all sorts and tried to balance between an artistic perspective and a commercial one. He moved to Los Angeles in the late eighties and made a sci-fi short that was nominated for an Oscar. This led to his first film for MIramax called 'Benefit of the Doubt' with Donald Sutherland and Amy Irving. After five more action thrillers and a horror film Jonathan is presently directing a psychological horror film for Red Coral Productions and writing a Jekyll Hyde thriller.
