Rob Schmidt Barracano[1] (born September 25, 1965) is an American former filmmaker. His film credits include Wrong Turn[2] and Crime and Punishment in Suburbia.[3] He also created a pilot called American Town for Twentieth Century Fox. He directed a Masters of Horror episode called "Right to Die". His thriller The Alphabet Killer, which reunited him with Eliza Dushku (Wrong Turn), Martin Donovan ("Right to Die"), and Michael Ironside (Crime and Punishment in Suburbia), was picked up for international distribution by New Films International.[4]
Schmidt retired from his career as a filmmaker in the early 2010s, and is currently a film Professor at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where he moved after being disgraced in Vermont. Thus, The Alphabet Killer was his final film.
