Film school consisted of hands-on experience, staying up way past his bedtime to watch MonsterVision with Joe Bob, and late-night deep dives into the special features of countless DVD's. In 2013, at the height of the DSLR revolution, he tried his hand at YouTube, creating a viral hit in the infamous and critically acclaimed fanfilm "Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness". Since then, Rosenthal has created and released several more viral shorts to the combined tune of over 20 million views, while developing a handful of original feature film projects.

* BEST OF NoLA 2019 * -- Meet our winners from September 2019, Angle Shades, who won with their film, Shy Monster -- Based in South Florida, Shy Monster originated in early 2016 by pairing the efforts of composers Luis Paez and Hayden Blades. After scoring a film together, the duo continues to write music under the name Shy Monster. Drawing influences from cinematic composers such as Brian Eno and John Carpenter to synth-pop stalwarts Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode and post-rock and chamber orchestrations by Mogwai and Rachel's, Shy Monster digs its teeth deep in synthesizers, dusty organic sounds, progressive percussion and film nostalgia. ___________________________________________________________________ Do you want to learn more and see all the winners from this year one more time?
