Filmmaker Ron Bonk is an important figure in low budget horror cinema because he's the President of S.R.S. Cinema, a successful production company located in Central New York. Numerous independent filmmakers have worked under this label, which has brought them reasonable finances and relatively secure distribution deals, so Bonk deserves credit for this. He's also a prominent film director in his own right, having been active since the early 1990s. Nicknamed the Bonkman, Ron Bonk continues to amass fans as his budgets soar and his profile rises.
Filmmaker Jonathan Straiton has co-produced several of Ron Bonk's films released this decade. He's directed three films himself and currently has a fourth picture in production, the hotly anticipated action horror 'Johnny Z' (scheduled for 2019).
"Make something different, make something that has an impact. I see a lot of slick soulless horror movies. Make something that gets people talking, something that comes from your heart and mind and make a statement with your work, whether serious or lighthearted or something in between."

"I grew up watching a lot of 80’s horror. I knew at a very young age that I wanted to make movies yet I was still green about the process. Which as a kid aloud me to enjoy the pure entertainment of it, even the not so great ones."
