Jack Perez is an American film and television director, screenwriter and film professor.[1] He directed the comedy-thriller Some Guy Who Kills People[2] executive produced by John Landis.[3] He also directed Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, whose trailer went viral,[4] and was named by Yahoo! as one of the top 10 trailers of 2009, with more trailer views than Avatar.[5]

His first feature film, "America’s Deadliest Home Video" (1991) was a groundbreaker in the found-footage field - an ahead-of-its-time application of the vérité-video form to the horror/crime genre.[6]

He lives in Portland, Oregon.
