About Devin

I'm that "used-to-work-at-a video-store" kinda classic & cult film scholar. One of my specs scored a table read starring Sean Astin as Orson Welles! My scripts play on Coen Brother-esque nostalgia for 20th Century storytelling and banter, with tenacious characters juggling facets of identity and infamy. I try to bring a droll swagger to Horror, Crime, Action, and Drama -- sometimes all at once!

Blue Mustang Budget: $5M - $10M | Action ⋄ Comedy A past-his-prime Moonshiner gets one last taste of high speed and hot pursuit from the Florida swamplands to NYC, and back, to save his estranged young adult daughter from gangsters, the F.B.I., and her cagey ex-boyfriend.
Lattice of Coincidence Budget: $100K - $1M | Independent ⋄ Film-noir A smart-mouthed Preacher in 1949 California trades in his collar for a fugitive's life on the run when he falls hard in love with a black widow who has just murdered her husband for some of the right reasons.
Orson's War Budget: $100K - $1M | Comedy ⋄ Biography The absurd true story behind America's original Fake News sensation -- the legendary 1938 Radio play, "War of the Worlds," told for the first time from the cynical perspective of Orson Welles himself.
The Midnight Hour Budget: $1M - $5M | Drama ⋄ Comedy A Late-Night TV Horror Host carries himself to the top, and back to the bottom, of both his career and several rum bottles, in this darkly comic Character Study of nerdy fandom, wasted love, and heavy cocktails throughout three decades (1960s, 70s, & 80s).
Moonshine Budget: $1M - $5M | Western ⋄ Horror A weary Old West outlaw must settle up with his embittered former partner, now a Sheriff, after he and a Wild Bunch of young greenhorn bandits are brutally attacked by a WEREWOLF and chased back to the isolated, cult-ish town they've just robbed.
The Vices of Dracula Budget: $5M - $10M | Horror ⋄ Comedy Dr. Van Helsing and his kickass Granddaughter wage a final battle against ultimate evil when Count Dracula rises again in psychedelic 1970s London in this fang-in-cheek "Hammer Studio" style reboot.
