Lee Demarbre
Director, Editor

Since high school, Lee has worked behind cameras of all sorts: video, broadcast television and now film. He has studied film in school and at home and owns Ottawa's largest collection of foreign and hard-to-find movies from around the world.

The success of Lee's faux trailer Harry Knuckles (1998) prompted him to follow it up with a short feature, Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy (1999), a narrative starring the man who would become Canada's first action hero, Harry Knuckles. He then immediately began work on Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001), which has met with overwhelming acclaim from audiences and critics worldwide.

Other directing credits include P.O.V. – a Frank Cole Tribute Film (2001); Where's Your Bobber? (2002); and Harry Knuckles and the Siege of the Leopard Lady (TV) (2003). Along the way, Odessa Filmworks productions have carried home fistfuls of awards and garnered a rabid fan base.

Lee recently completed a second Knuckles sequel called Harry Knuckles and the Pearl Necklace (2004) and the digital short Bzzzzzzz (2005).
