John Ferrer's cinematic journey commenced with a formative experience, witnessing the iconic thriller Jaws at the tender age of seven, which would later influence his passion for crafting spine-tingling horror films.
After completing a media production program at college, Ferrer pursued a degree in film and television production at the university level, only to find himself without a steady income, forced to rely on a meager diet of oatmeal as a cost-cutting measure and a means to save up funds for his next ambitious, genre-bending project.
