Born Dead (2017) Directed by Robert Gulassarian. Gulassarian is a filmmaker from Toronto, Canada who has an interest in a wide range of films. He strayed from film school, instead putting his focus on writing and directing an indie feature titled Rearview. Showing signs of success, he went onto direct Born Dead in the style of neorealist cinema. Here, Gulassarian did not use much of a script, and instead moves with the current of life to put together an account with a traditionally linear story. He champions a hard-edged style that explores human nature and the hypocrisy of certain social constructs. He is currently developing a script for a sci-fi cyberpunk movie franchise.
