Biography

Abner Pastoll was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, grew up in London, UK and is now based in Seoul, Korea. His crime-thriller A GOOD WOMAN IS HARD TO FIND premiered at Fantasia and closed FrightFest’s 20th anniversary. The New York Times praised the film for its “delicacy and nuance, layering gangland grift, domestic drama and female fury into a satisfying lasagna of mounting violence.” Certified Fresh at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, it was named one of their Top 10 Thrillers of 2020 and featured on Slant Magazine’s 100 Best Horror Movies of the 21st Century. His debut feature ROAD GAMES, a French–English bilingual chiller, was released in the US by IFC Films, and holds the distinction of playing at the UK's FrightFest two years in a row - premiering in 2015, and returning in 2016 for a live-commentary event. His latest film, NERVOUS, continues his exploration of daring, subversive genre cinema and marks his second collaboration with Sarah Bolger.
