Rob Cotterill

Rob Cotterill has been working in film since 1994. Through fate, on the set of TRAILER PARK BOYS, Rob met Jason Eisener, where they began talking about making films together. A partnership was born, and together the duo made the fake trailer version of HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, entering it into the SXSW Grindhouse Trailer Competition in Austin, Texas, which it won. While shooting Hobo, Eisener & Cotterill conceived their next project, a fifteen-minute short film about the injustices suffered by Christmas trees. This film was called TREEVENGE, which won multiple awards around the globe including an honourable mention at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. With the successes of these films and two other viral shorts, REPORT CARD and THE NUMBER TO HEAVEN, The HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN feature film creative team was solidified. The partnership formed Yer Dead Productions, a Halifax, Nova Scotia based, genre centered, production house. Now focused and determined, all efforts went towards the feature film
