Directing THE AU PAIR NIGHTMARE
Russo & LaMont are three-time BloodList screenwriters whose feature film credits include the Peyton List and Bob Gunton starring horror film, THE INHERITANCE (#3 movie on Hulu, Christmas 2024), the Bruce Willis-starring HARD KILL (#2 movie on Netflix, Thanksgiving 2020), the Ryan Phillippe, Ving Rhames and Kate Bosworth-starring THE LOCKSMITH and the Neal McDonough-starring SOUL MATES.

In 2020, the writing duo penned the thriller THE AU PAIR NIGHTMARE, which Russo directed. The movie debuted to strong reviews and ratings, with USA Today saying it "pushes all the right buttons."

Russo also directed the short film BE MINE for Crypt TV. His short MIDNIGHT CLEAR (featured on Entertainment Weekly, Nerdist and io9) was released on Gunpowder & Sky's digital platform, Alter.

As a producer, Russo's feature credits include the Mickey Rourke-starring horror anthology NIGHTMARE CINEMA (#2 movie on Shudder in 2019) and the Zac Efron and Russell Crowe-starring THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER, which premiered at The Toronto International Film Festival. Notably, Russo acquired the life-rights to THE UNTITLED HULK HOGAN BIOPIC which sold to Netflix with Chris Hemsworth starring and Todd Phillips (JOKER) directing.

Previously, Russo has worked as a writer, producer and development executive with companies like Fox, MGM, Showtime, SyFy, History, Adam Sandler's Happy Madison, Will Smith's Overbrook, Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures, Davis Entertainment, Voltage Pictures, Millennium, Lionsgate, Amazon and more.

In the podcast space, Russo produced seven seasons of the award-winning horror series POST MORTEM WITH MICK GARRIS, featuring over a hundred in-depth conversations with genre legends like Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, John Carpenter, Guillermo del Toro, Edgar Wright and many more.

Russo & LaMont are repped at Gersh, Fictional Entity and Yorn Levine.
