Incendiary Features was founded by James LaMarr, an award-winning feature film producer with more than a decade of experience in the entertainment industry. He started his entertainment career after college at Texas A&M University in front of the camera as an actor, a passion he continues to pursue alongside his love for producing great films. James’ feature film producing experiences include the award-winning Desdemona: A Love Story, The Lawless, Rockabilly Baby, 2:22 & the horror feature Psychic Experiment. He has also appeared in dozens of film & television projects, including Closet Space, 2:22, and Fox’s Prison Break. James runs Incendiary Features from Austin, Texas.
Phillip Reyn Guzman began his career with The Lawless, a crime/thriller completed with a budget of only $7,500, collecting multiple awards on the way to international distribution and industry disbelief for what he was able to accomplish on such a small budget. Desdemona: A Love Story was Guzman’s sophomore film, which won numerous awards including Best Feature at the Naples International Film Festival, and Best Feature, Best Cinematography & Best Actor at the Boston Film Festival. Guzman immediately followed Desdemona with 2:22, an action-packed heist film featuring such veteran actors as Val Kilmer & Gabriel Byrne (a sequel is currently in development). His latest film, A Kiss and a Promise, has recently been completed and premiered to rave reviews at the Cinequest Film Festival, followed by a special presentation at the Dallas International Film Festival and a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles. After seeing Promise, Jeffrey Reddick (creator of the Final Destination franchise) personally endorsed Phillip as his choice to helm the author’s newest horror franchise, Dead Awake.
