VIRGINIA POWERS HENDRY (WRITER/DIRECTOR)

Virginia "Gina" Powers Hendry, a graduate of the University of Central Florida Film & Digital Media Program, wasted no time chasing her filmmaking dreams in California. With a thirst for creative storytelling, Gina’s female-driven horror and comedy films focus on gutsy women who refuse to take any nonsense lying down, unapologetically drenched in chunky viscera. In her world, the ladies fight back with ferocity, not just the so-called "final girls." Her stories resonate with inclusivity, diversity, and a ferocious desire to entertain. When Gina isn't concocting female-driven narratives that'll make your spine tingle and your sides split, she is a devoted mother to two future "final girls," raising them to be as kick-ass as the heroines she champions on the screen.
