Biography
John Cannizzaro grew up in New England where he made several short films before relocating to Los Angeles in 1990. There he completed his first mini feature, “Critical Mass,” which was reviewed by Paul Malcolm in the Nov. 22, 1996 LA Weekly as a “low key tale of guttersnipe mysticism… ‘Critical Mass’ is heavy on mood and symbolism with Cannizzaro drawing some beautiful compositions… What’s most intriguing about the film is the connection it makes between spiritualism and ennui”.
Still working primarily in Super 8 film, he has completed several more short films including “Gulliver’s Travels” and “50 Feet That Shook The World” (both were made for LA Flicker’s ‘Attack of the 50 Foot Reels’ and have played in festivals around the world) as well as a full-length feature film “The Left Hand Path.”
