The trailer for Danny Boyle’s horror/thriller film ’28 YEARS LATER.’ Hitting theaters June 20, 2025.

At the age of 10, Aurelio Voltaire bought a super 8 camera and taught himself the art of stop-motion animation. At 17, he ran away from home to New York City where by 18, he had become an award-winning animator and director working on station IDs for MTV and national spots for international brands. Through his stop-motion short films, Aurelio Voltaire was able to explore his more fantastic, monster-filled visions, each narrated by a singer he admired including Danny Elfman, Gerard Way, Blondie front-woman Deborah Harry, Psychedelic Furs frontman, Richard Butler and new wave pioneer, Gary Numan. These five shorts earned Voltaire 35 film festival awards. After achieving success as an internationally touring recording artist and author, Aurelio Voltaire has circled back around to his original passion to make his first feature length creature feature with co-director, Jeff Ferrell.

Jeff Ferrell is a filmmaker, actor and musician. He has made three feature films as writer/director: Ghostlight, Dead West (which was picked up by RLJ Entertainment and Netflix) and Holiday Hell, a horror anthology starring Re-Animator’s Jeffrey Combs. The Demonatrix is Jeff and Aurelio’s first feature film as co-writers, co-directors and co-stars, and has been 10 years in the making.

Voltaire is no stranger to the NYC Horror Film Festival with his first feature length screenplay, “Call of the Jersey Devil,” winning “Best Screenplay” in 2010.
