Remington Smith is a Louisville, Kentucky filmmaker who started his film career as the University of Louisville’s Film Chair, programming the campus movie theater for two years and bringing independent cinema back to Louisville.
In 2009 he moved to Edinburgh, Scotland to earn his MA in Film Studies from the University of Edinburgh in 2010 for his thesis, “Unsafe Horrors: A Critical Analysis of Horror Cinema, Torture Porn and the Unsafe Horror Film”.
While attending the University of Edinburgh he made his first documentary short, Last Good Thing, which spurred his eventual interest in pursuing an MFA in Film and Video Production from the University of Iowa, which he earned in 2014.
His first feature length documentary Rubbertown, about a woman moving her entire house to another county to escape the environmental hazards of nearby chemical plants, is currently on the film festival circuit. Remington is currently developing his first horror feature film, Land Lord, and is in production for his next feature documentary, The Derby. For more information, visit theremingtonsmith.com
