Cody Blue Snider is an international award-winning director from Long Island, New York. Twenty-five year old Snider is being called “the auteur of his generation.” His approach to filmmaking ranges from viscerally dramatic work to elegantly irreverent comedies.

At 19, he dropped out of film school to make his international award winning short film All That Remains. This launched Cody into directing commercials and music videos, where he quickly became one of the hottest metal music video directors around – amassing millions of views online and charting on AOL, Revolver, Fearnet and Kerrang Magazine’s top ten lists repeatedly.

After premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, his latest short film, Fool’s Day, has commanded worldwide notoriety, amassing over 40 awards internationally, including the Academy Award qualifying Palm Springs, Austin and Seattle International Film Festivals.

Fool’s Day was voted #1 on the Hollywood Reporter’s’ Viewfinder list in 2013, by top industry executives, recognizing it as the year’s best short form content in the world. Buzzfeed hailed it “The best short film I’ve ever seen!” while the LA Times exclaimed “Genius!!!… Cody Blue Snider is a force to be reckoned with.”

Developing several film, TV and commercial projects, Cody resides in Los Angeles where he is currently prepping to shoot his feature adaptation of Fool’s Day, produced by New Line Cinema and Edward Norton’s production company Class 5 Films.
