Adam Spencer here — screenwriter, visual artist, and world-builder who collapses the space between biological science and mythology.
I develop original IP for film, animation, and publishing, with a focus on story-first worlds that carry across mediums. My primary project is PRAYPREY, a science-fantasy mythology I’ve built from the ground up across novels, a WGA-registered feature screenplay, visual development, creature design, and now a vertical micro-drama series.
At its center is a clutchless mantid nymph on a fossil world who must survive a zealot’s purge and an intelligent rot that feeds on death, wielding mercy as her only weapon.
Rather than overdescribe PRAYPREY, I’d rather show it. Here’s Episode 1 of Library of the Lost Scrolls, a short-form proof of concept built entirely from original assets.
Glad to be here. I’m always interested in connecting with writers, producers, directors, reps, and other creatives who respond to original worlds, strong visual storytelling, and ambitious material built to travel.

Hi Adam, this is an incredible introduction — PRAYPREY sounds like a fascinating blend of science and mythology, and I love that you're building it across mediums. The proof of concept is stunning; the visual world you've created really draws you in. Since you're working across film, animation, and publishing, and you're a WR member there is Q&A with showrunner Jacob Tierney on Tuesday could be a great opportunity to connect with others building ambitious, cross-platform material. Glad to have you here, and looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Gosto muito quando um projeto nasce já com visão de universo, não apenas de uma única história.
PRAYPREY parece exatamente isso — um mundo com regras próprias, estética forte e potencial de expansão para diferentes formatos.
A premissa da protagonista e o conceito da “podridão inteligente” são particularmente marcantes.
Estou explorando caminhos semelhantes na criação de universos narrativos, então é sempre inspirador ver projetos com essa ambição. Parabéns pelo trabalho.

Good to see you, Adam! This is exactly the kind of introduction we love seeing here. PRAYPREY sounds genuinely ambitious — and with a project this distinct, the right executive match could open real doors. Make sure you check out our Open Writing Assignments this week, exclusive to Writers' Room members.
And speaking of the Writers' Room — we have an exclusive live Q&A this Tuesday, March 24th with Jacob Tierney, the creator and showrunner of HBO Max's HEATED RIVALRY. It's a rare opportunity to go deep on the craft and business of getting bold, original work made and onto a major streamer. Your first month is on us: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip. Would love to see you there.

Tomás Daniel Gracias. PRAYPREY fue excavado de las ruinas de la pérdida — nacido de lo que yo llamo una génesis psicomítica. La creación de los mántidos y de toda la mitología que los rodea fue, en su origen, mi propia metodología, completamente personal y privada, para enfrentar un duelo que quería dejarme paralizado. Con el tiempo lo escribí todo — tres libros que se convirtieron en la Trilogía PRAYPREY — porque quería dejar un registro para quienes me conocían, para quienes me querían, y compartir con ellos el mito personal que construí para seguir con vida. Cuando lo vieron, todos me dijeron que debía intentar darle PRAYPREY al mundo. Todo lo que ha venido después nació de esa misión.

Thank you very much, Sam Rivera, PRAYPREY was excavated from the ruins of loss — born of what I call a psycho-mythic genesis. The creation of the mantids and the wider mythos was originally my own wholly personal and private way of dealing with a grief that wanted me paralyzed. I eventually wrote it all down — three books that became the PRAYPREY Trilogy — because I wanted to leave a record for those who knew me, who loved me, and share the personal myth that helped keep me alive. When they saw it, every one of them told me I should try to give PRAYPREY to the world. Everything that followed came out of that mission.
And yes — we’ll be there Tuesday the 24th. Thank you as well for pointing me toward the Jacob Tierney Q&A. It sounds like exactly the kind of conversation I’d want to be part of.

Adam Spencer Obrigado por compartilhar isso.
Dá para sentir que PRAYPREY não é apenas uma história, mas algo profundamente pessoal — quase como um mito criado para sobreviver e dar sentido à própria jornada.
Quando um projeto nasce desse lugar, ele carrega uma verdade que dificilmente pode ser fabricada. E isso costuma ser o que mais conecta com as pessoas.
É interessante ver como algo que começou como um processo íntimo agora está a ganhar forma como um universo que pode alcançar outros.
Respeito muito essa trajetória.

Hi Adam Spencer, happy IYW. I would love to invite you to our free webcast: Community Open House lead by our Head of Community and a great momento to learn more about our community and networking: https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-march-2026-community-open-house-webcast
I hope you can come.
Thanks Nico Abondolo! For the most part, yes, I made the soundtrack—however, one of the underlying tracks within the larger mix I didn’t create personally but own. The right to. Everything else, audio and visual, yeah, I created myself. I even voiced the character retelling the mantid’s story of creation.

Sandra Correia, thank you — this sounds like a great event. I’d better show up and behave myself. I really appreciate the invite.

Tomás Daniel — acabei de perceber que respondi em espanhol, quando seu comentário foi em português. Perdão por isso.
Quero agradecer de novo pela sensibilidade do que você escreveu. Você entendeu algo muito verdadeiro sobre a origem de PRAYPREY, e isso significou muito para mim.
PRAYPREY realmente nasceu de um lugar profundamente pessoal. O que começou como uma forma íntima de sobreviver ao luto foi, aos poucos, se tornando um mundo, depois uma obra, e agora algo que espero poder compartilhar com outras pessoas de forma significativa.
Obrigado, de coração, pelas suas palavras e pelo respeito com que leu minha trajetória.

Hello Adam Spencer
No worries about the language — the essence of your message came through clearly.
Thank you for sharing this so openly. There’s something very powerful when a creative work begins as a response to loss and evolves into a world that can be shared with others.
That kind of origin gives the work a truth that’s hard to replicate — and that’s what creates real connection with an audience.
I truly hope PRAYPREY finds the people who need it.
Adam Spencer, it’s always great to see you pop up during Introduce Yourself Weekend. Curious to hear, as you’ve expanded into the vertical micro-drama format, what have you learned about translating such a layered world into shorter form storytelling?
Amazing trailer, well-articulated, I love to see scientist who are also talented in storytelling. It opens the chance to educate people while they are having fun.
Thank you for sharing it Adam Spencer
