Sergio Guerra’s fondness for suspense and the unsettling formed at an early age, the end result of too many impressionable "Twilight Zone" marathons.

He honed his craft while attending New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. His original horror pilot "Creature Comfort" was a winner in the ATX-Blacklist Script Competition, and his horror short "Murder Ballad" had its Los Angeles premiere at Screamfest in 2019.
