About Nina Romain
Nina Romain is living proof that small children shouldn't be taken trick-or-treating in Alabama in the 1980s as sugared-up tiny ghouls – they tend to end up obsessed with the creepier side of Halloween! Her horror shorts tend to be shot half in the seedier side of Los Angeles and half in the darker side of the UK, including the UK's "most haunted" village in Fright Corner.
Last year she AD’d on a Covid-safe rom-com and created three microshort horrors. These range from an LA found footage short about a Valentine’s Day spent in a deserted zoo that goes horrifically wrong, to a pandemic nightmare in lockdown London (www.raindance.org/shooting-in-a-ghost-town) and finally a party no one leaves early…or alive.
