Dale Thomas Cizmadia is a Phoenix-based film director and producer whose work blends grounded genre storytelling with a sharp, independent spirit. Before transitioning into directing, he worked as an actor in both New York and Los Angeles, with a background in professional theater and screen performance. That experience informs his work behind the camera, where character, story, and tone remain central. In 2023, he launched Film Loft Productions to focus on character-driven genre films. His latest film, Tomorrow Undead, is currently on its festival run, winning best horror short at the Houston Horror Film Festival and Chicago Horror Film Festival. It also won Best Arizona Horror, Sci-Fi, or Thriller Film at HorrOrigins.
