About the Guest
JOE BEGOS (Writer/Producer/Director)
Born in October of 1987, Joe Begos grew up in Rhode Island, where he spent most of his teenage years teaching himself all aspects of filmmaking. This is also where he met his long time Editor/Co-Producer Josh Ethier. With both taking on and learning several key positions while cranking out shorts, Joe eventually moved to Los Angeles at Age 20. Continuing to write and grind away at short films, he quickly scored an internship under horror legend Stuart Gordon, working in development for him for almost 4 years. This lead to becoming the Stage Manager for the original run of "Re-Animator: The Musical", under the direction of Gordon himself. Here, he met Graham Skipper, who would go on to play the lead in Joe's first feature. In 2011, he finished production on "Bad Moon Rising", a werewolf short that went on to World Premiere at Frightfest in the UK, and was later purchased by FearNet. Shortly after the original run of Re-Animator closed it's curtains, on the other side of the country, Joe began shooting Almost Human.

After their human test subjects turn into animalistic horrors, four scientists led by a security guard barricade themselves in their laboratory to withstand the attacks of their botched creations. One of them holds a secret, however, and as it is uncovered, the small group must wrestle with their conscience to ensure survival from both the threat outside the lab and from within, a moral dilemma that will ultimately decide their fate.
