Tor Ramsey, a talented individual with a rich background, graduated from North Carolina State University, where he lettered as a Manager in Men's Varsity Basketball under the guidance of the legendary coach Jim Valvano. However, it was during this time that he discovered his true passion for writing in the entertainment media.
Ramsey's creative endeavors soon led him to create "Ramsey in Reality," a radio show that aired on WKNC in Raleigh, featuring outlandish sketch comedy and parody, reminiscent of Stan Freberg and "Saturday Night Live." This led to his pursuit of a Certificate in Filmmaking from New York University, which he obtained before signing with several literary agents to write screenplays that unfortunately never came to fruition.
Undeterred, Ramsey threw out the rule book and wrote a movie that truly reflected his personality and heart, "Urban Mythology," which was released in 1999. Following the production of the film, Ramsey relocated to Los Angeles, where he gathered the necessary resources to shoot a 30-minute episodic, which later became the pilot for the series "The White Chick and The Haole Crew."
Ramsey then found work as a script doctor for various projects, including the kid's caper movie "Snoopers," before returning to his comedic roots, directing and producing outrageous comedy sketches for E!'s "Talk Soup" in 1991. His second directorial gig came in 2000, with the feature film "Children of the Living Dead," which he released through Artisan Entertainment in October 2001.
Throughout his career, Ramsey has emphasized the importance of his role as a writer, editor, and director, with a clear hierarchy in place. He is currently developing a series concept called "Dead Michigan" and a new feature film about con artists titled "Gypies Tramps And Bail-Jumpers."
