Len was born and raised in northern New Jersey, and is a life-long fan of horror, fantasy, and science fiction storytelling. He is a graduate of Middlebury College, in Vermont, where he earned a BA in Film & Media Cultures. It was at Middlebury that he made his first film, excluding the videos he grew up making with his father's video camera. Len spent three years working in New York City as an assistant editor, webcast producer and feature production assistant, before landing a job as the video playback foreperson on the Abel Ferrara feature “4:44 Last Day on Earth”. In the fall of 2011, Len moved to Los Angeles to attend the American Film Institute Conservatory. Len's graduate thesis film, REAVER, has been selected at numerous festivals, and will have its World Premiere at Fantastic Fest in September 2014.
