Rozalyn Mattocks is an award-winning director and writer hailing from Marietta Georgia. She is known for her love of production design, vintage feel and unique characters. Horror and Sci-Fi are favorites, but you will find a little of all flavors in her work.

As a southerner storytelling is in her blood. Growing up, going to the movies every Saturday with her mother instantly hooked her on a medium that told stories visually. She began making elaborate sets in her home and staging scenes for anyone who stopped by. 

She holds a degree in Film from Georgia State University and spent seven years in television working for The Walking Dead. Her films have played in festivals worldwide, including the prestigious Atlanta Film Festival.

She continues to push herself with every project, always learning, growing and striving for new heights until her feet don't quite touch the ground.

She loves adventure, dancing, compassion, goofiness, darkness and purse sandwiches. She does not enjoy heights, cruelty, jump scares, or being tickled.
