Ray Raghavan

“Ray Raghavan doesn’t just make films—he crafts visceral journeys that linger in the mind and soul, offering stories that challenge, provoke, and entertain.”

Ray Raghavan is a filmmaker celebrated for his high-concept, emotionally charged narratives that redefine genre boundaries. His latest screenplay, FEARDOM, is a psychological horror that explores fear as a weapon of control. In this chilling tale, an ambitious young couple relocates to a remote corporate town, only to discover that the sinister company exploits its employees by feeding on their deepest fears. FEARDOM has already caught the attention of producers behind Terrifier 3 and Infinity Pool, and it promises to be a high-stakes, thought-provoking experience for audiences and investors alike.

Ray’s other projects in development include:

• The God of Love: A darkly comedic TV series about a physics teacher-turned-reluctant vigilante who uses the laws of physics to orchestrate elaborate Rube Goldberg-style assassinations while balancing the pressures of family life.
• PHOREN: A psychological horror about an immigrant chef battling a terrifying illness that transforms her from within, forcing her to confront dualities of identity and survival. Supported by Telefilm Canada, the project reflects Ray’s passion for blending deeply personal themes with genre storytelling.

Ray’s recent accomplishments solidify his position as a rising voice in the film industry. His award-winning short film, ALIENATION, earned the Audience Award for Best Adventure Short at Another Hole In The Head and screened at prestigious festivals like CineQuest, FilmQuest, Morbidó, and Trieste Sci-Fi. His debut feature, VIOLENTIA, won Best Director at the Berlin Sci-Fi Festival and secured worldwide distribution through Gravitas Ventures, and his first short, MAYA GETTING BORN, was awarded Best Student Film at the Vancouver South Asian Film Festival.

In 2024, Ray was selected for the esteemed DGC LA delegation for Screen BC Week, connecting with top industry executives. He was also a participant in the BITS Genre Lab 2022 and is a graduate of the DGC Episodic Directing Workshop, further demonstrating his commitment to pushing creative and professional boundaries.

Beyond his accolades, Ray finds inspiration in the landscapes of his adopted home of Canada, drawing creative energy from outdoor adventures with his two young sons. Whether crafting haunting narratives or tackling creative challenges, Ray’s dedication to storytelling remains unwavering, making him a filmmaker whose work resonates deeply with audiences and collaborators alike.
