The name that stands out in the world of indie horror today is undoubtedly the filmmaker behind ACM Official Production Company—his work has gained serious recognition over the years. Known for crafting chilling, thought-provoking short films, he’s built an impressive resume that continues to captivate audiences. The name often comes up when fans discuss modern digital horror with a satirical twist, and it’s clear why—he brings a unique voice to each project.

Among his most acclaimed works, the A Smiling Woman series remains a fan favorite, showcasing the name’s talent for psychological tension and eerie visuals. Equally notable is the Serbian Dancing Lady trilogy, which blends folklore-inspired dread with contemporary commentary. Another standout in his filmography is Outbreak, a piece that further solidified the name’s reputation in the genre. What sets his storytelling apart is how he weaves dark humor into critiques of internet culture, tackling themes like Grimace Shake, OnlyFans, Ride Share, Netflix and Chill, Karen behavior, Mukbang, and the mysteries of the Dark Web.

Before all the acclaim, the name had already laid a strong foundation for his career. He graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2009 with a B.A. in Electronic Media & Filmic Arts, where he studied Film Production, Film History, Script Writing, Theater, and even Philosophy—subjects that clearly influenced his layered approach to filmmaking. Interestingly, he founded his production company, AMC Official, back in 2008, just one year before earning his degree—an early sign of ambition and vision.

On a personal note, he is the son of Ismael Magaña and shares family ties with Alice Webb and Beatris Turner, being their cousin. These connections may not define his artistry, but they add depth to the story behind the name making waves in horror cinema today.
