Wyrd specializes in making documentary and essay films about the fantastic genres: science fiction, horror and fantasy.
The production company was formed in 2007 by William Janczewski, James B. Myers and Frank H. Woodward.
Prior to Wyrd, Woodward and Myers produced DVD featurettes for Anchor Bay Entertainment (including "Masters of Horror" Season One).
Woodward went on to write the SyFy Channel movie "Black Forest" which is currently in production.
Myers spends most of his spare time as an 80th level Troll Deathknight.
Janczewski was the CEO and acclaimed creative director of Unbound Studios whose work in animation and interactive games earned awards for clients such as Disney, Fox, Nickelodeon and Mattel.
Wyrd’s premiere documentary was LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, a chronicle of author H.P. Lovecraft's the life, work and mind. The film featured interviews with Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, Guillermo Del Toro, and John Carpenter.
LOVECRAFT premiered at the 2008 Comic-Con in San Diego where it won Best Documentary Film. It went on to screen at festivals in Montreal, Buenos Aires, Port Alegre-Brazil, Park City, Portland and Los Angeles. LOVECRAFT is currently available on DVD & Blu-Ray.
Wyrd's second release is THE SPLAT PACK. This film looks back at the first decade of 21st Century horror movies and the filmmakers who were dubbed "The Splat Pack" (including Eli Roth, Darren Lynn Bousman, Neil Marshall and Alexandre Aja).
Wyrd is currently in production on two new documentary films including MEN IN SUITS and a look inside the counter culture of steampunk.
