Ronnie Sortor

Ronnie Sortor is a multi-talented filmmaker recognized for his contributions as a writer, director, and editor in the realm of independent cinema. He first gained attention with his feature films, *Sinistre* (1994) and *Ravage* (1996), showcasing his flair for gripping narratives and innovative storytelling. In addition to his directorial work, Sortor co-produced and edited *Living a Zombie Dream* (1995) and *Kitty Killers* (1998) alongside filmmaker Todd Reynolds, further cementing his reputation in the genre.

In 2005, Sortor ventured back into the horror scene with the short film *Remains*, though he stepped away from filmmaking for nearly ten years. However, he was drawn back into the fold of low-budget genre films when he was invited to edit the highly-praised *Flowers* (2015), directed by Phil Stevens from Philadelphia. His role on this project evolved beyond editing, as he took on responsibilities as 2nd Unit Director, Co-producer, Sound Designer, and Sound Effects Editor.

Sortor continued to lend his editing expertise to various projects, including Stevens' follow-up film, *Lung II* (2016). His enduring passion for film and commitment to the craft have made him a respected figure in the indie cinema community, where he continues to influence and inspire future generations of filmmakers.
