A native to Los Angeles, Mike Mendez was in the backyard making movies since the age of 10. At the age of 23, Mike made his first feature film "Killers," which was accepted into the Sundance Film Festival in 1997. The film was picked up by Alpine Pictures, who distributed the feature in the U.S. The film also received a worldwide theatrical release.
He followed that up with the horror comedy "The Convent," which was also accepted into the Sundance Film Festival in 2000, as well as over 30 other film festivals worldwide. The film was released by Lionsgate in the U.S.
In 2002, he produced a documentary for Universal Television and Showtime entitled "Masters of Horror," featuring interviews with some of the genre's most legendary filmmakers. In 2006, Mike's film "The Gravedancers" premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released in theaters nationally by Lionsgate & After Dark Films as part of "8 Films To Die For".
Along with producing short films for X-box and working on the television series "Beavis & Butthead", Mike's newest film is "Big Ass Spider!" for Epic Pictures, which premiered at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival. Starring "Heroes" alumni Greg Grunberg, it had a limited theatrical worldwide.
