[1] Teo began his career as a school drop out, making quirky horror films, with borrowed cameras.
A fashion design drop out, Teo attended school in Melbourne, Australia before arriving to the United States to pursue his career in filmmaking (then he studied until he obtained a doctorate degree[1]).
His fan base comprises mostly those in the underground sub-culture, whose keen interest in him lies in his unique but dark visual style.
In August 2009, Teo shot NBC / Universal (Syfy) first production in China called Witchville which starred Luke Goss, MyAnna Buring and Sarah Douglas.
[3] In 2013, Teo collaborated with author Christine Converse on Bedlam Stories,[4] a fictional account of famous reporter Nellie Bly's stay in a mental institution in the 1920s.
