Show Me Pictures presents :: SONG OF THE DEAD ::

Chip Gubera
Writer, Producer, Director, Music Composer

Chip Gubera grew up in Joplin, Missouri and graduated from University of Missouri-Columbia with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies in Film, Communication and English in 1999. Young Gubera was first inspired to make films after viewing the cult classic “Evil Dead,” which Sam Raimi directed on a shoestring budget. Gubera’s first enterprise, a 20-minute mockumentary about the life of a zombie entitled “The Zombie, The Hunger, His Story” debuted at a Joplin coffeehouse when he was 19.

Gubera has produced over 20 films since that fledgling effort, six of which proved award winners at film festivals and events throughout the nation. As a member of Kansas City’s Independent Film Coalition (IFC) he won first place in their 2002 One Night Stand competition. In cooperation with Emmy-winning Editor James Robert Swope, Gubera created “The 10-hour Headache,” which tied for first Place in the 2002 Kansas City Filmmaker’s Jubilee. His 16mm short “The Wilding” traveled across the country in 2003’s Free Forum Film Festival, and his music video for Heavy Metal group Slugtrail released on Heavycore’s “Roasting Posers” DVD.
