The concept of serial killer couples has always fascinated me. I wonder how two depraved souls end up finding each other, and how they get to that point in their relationship where they’re ready to tell one another how much they like torturing and killing people. Imagining how that kind …

In his first time directing a feature length movie, special effects and makeup artist James Ojala goes high concept. His feature film debut, Strange Nature, was released in September of 2018.
