Sandy Collora
He made his directorial debut in 1999 with the short film "Solomon Bernstein's Bathroom". 1999 also saw the birth of his toy development studio and independent production company Montauk Films. Collora attracted attention with his 2003 short film "", intended to act as a director's demonstration reel. After premiering the film at the San Diego Comic Con, it became popular on the Internet, and was downloaded more than 600,000 times in the first week. Director Kevin Smith called it "possibly the truest, best Batman movie ever made". Collora filmed a similar project, 2004's "World's Finest", with much of the same cast and crew. In 2010, Collora released his first feature film, "Hunter Prey".
