Rolfe Kanefsky
Rolfe Kanefsky( born 1969) is an American film writer/ director who specializes in horror films.
Black room
A black room is part of a communication center( e.g. a post office) used by state officials to conduct clandestine interception and surveillance of communications.
Typically, all letters or communications pass through the black room before being passed to the recipient.
This practice had been in vogue since the establishment of posts, and was frequently used in France by the ministers of Louis XIII and his followers as cabinet noir( French for" black room").
In modern American network operations centers, optical splitters divert a percentage of the laser light from all incoming and outgoing fiber- optic cables to the secret room.
An example is Room 641A in the SBC Communications building in San Francisco.
The term" black room" or" black chamber" has also been used to refer to any place or organisation dedicated to code-breaking.

He worked in Hollywood for much of his subsequent career, directing mostly B movies and early episodic TV, although he directed his best-known English language film, the cult science fiction thriller "The Day of the Triffids" in the UK and returned to Hungary to direct his final film, "The Girl Who Liked Purple Flowers," which was released in 1973.
