Churchill has also written, produced and directed the eight-time award-winning feature film “The Emerging Past Director’s Cut”, “Lazarus: Apocalypse” and numerous other feature films. “Lazarus: Apocalypse” was voted Best Horror Film at the New York City International Film Festival and featured a performance by Churchill as Mammon Beelzebub.

Born in Brooklyn, New York on his Mother’s birthday, Churchill had dreams of becoming an actor/director since his trip to the movies with his father at the age of seven to view “Star Wars (Episode IV.” However, it was during his sophomore year at Franklin K Lane High School that Churchill convinced his father to buy him a video camera (full size VHS RCA camera). Churchill’s first film was “The War Master,” a film about two teenage cops fighting the neighborhood drug problem. “War Master” went on to win several local awards, and Churchill then convinced a few local video stores to carry the film. When rentals followed, several newspapers, including The New York Daily News, New York Newsday, Ridgewood Times and Queens Tribune, all carried stories on Churchill.

“Most people never finish a project, they usually run out of their budget midway through”, Churchill was quoted saying in one of his articles. “I pushed myself…if you are going to start something, you need to finish it”.

Churchill was seen by millions on the SyFy Network’s “Monster Man” a reality show, which showcased an episode of the director. The episode was titled “The Forbidden Werewolf”, and featured the special effects of Roy Knyrim, Cleve Hall and the SOTA FX team. “Monster Man” goes behind the scenes of one of Hollywood’s most respected monster prop building workshops, SOTA FX. Churchill teamed up again with Roy Knyrim and his SOTA FX company to handle the effects for “Lazarus: Apocalypse,” which also won best make-up at The New York City International Film Festival. The trio will be collaborating for a third time to make “Marilyn: Zombie Hunter.”
