Biography

Liam Regan was born in 1985 and raised in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom, he was exposed to the horror genre at five years old by secretly watching 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)' without his parents consent.

Growing up on a heavy dose of horror movies from the 80's, he quickly took an interest in independent cinema after discovering Troma Entertainment's back catalog and purchasing 'The Toxic Avenger Part II (1989) from his local Blockbuster video store.

Liam studied screenwriting and filmmaking by working on the movie sets of Lloyd Kaufman (Return to Nuke 'Em High Volumes 1 & 2) before embarking on his 'Banjo' project with his own production company titled Refuse Films (formally Cincest Films).

The initial idea of 'Banjo' was based on an accident Liam encountered during a trip to London, the following day after a screening of Darren Lynn Bousman's 'Mother's Day' at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square, he was inspired to take the idea and create a treatment, that was quickly developed into a fifteen page short film screenplay titled 'Confessions of Peltzer'.

Filmed during Easter 2012, the short film 'Confessions of Peltzer' premiered at the TromaDance film festival in New Jersey the following year.

Once the short film premiered at TromaDance, Liam began receiving messages about how revolting and obscene the short was, which then inspired him further to begin writing a feature length screenplay, with the characters from his first short film, the screenplay was titled 'Banjo'.

'Banjo' (the feature length movie) was filmed during the Summer of 2014 in South Yorkshire, UK.

The feature length movie had its first test screening at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2015 with a 107 minute work-print, and the final cut with the running time of 82 minutes was officially selected by Film4 FrightFest to have its world premiere on August 31st in Leicester Square, London.

'Banjo' went on to play 20 further festivals, and its title changed to 'My Bloody Banjo' in late 2016, with Acort International and Maxim Media Entertainment serving as worldwide sales agents. 'My Bloody Banjo' was released on DVD & VOD in the US in November 2016, along with the uncensored version screening on the VOD platform Troma NOW! in early 2017.

Liam returned to Tromaville during the Summer of 2018, working on Lloyd Kaufman's latest opus 'Shakespeare's Shitstorm' in New York City, due to be released in Summer 2019.
