WHAT DOES JOHN LIKE TO WRITE?
Great question! I'm drawn to high-concept premises, distinctive characters, and stories that blend genre with unexpected turns. Working across film and television, he gravitates toward horror, thrillers, science fiction, and offbeat worlds that entertain while exploring the people caught inside them. With a background in development and production, I approach storytelling with an eye for originality and pure fun.
