About Travis

I'm a produced screenwriter whose work has been publicized in Deadline, Fangoria, and a variety of other movie news and horror news sites. I've placed in over 50 contests, been hired to write film and TV, and am repped by Sovereign Talent Group.

For features I write sci-fi, thriller, and horror.

For TV I write genre/drama (usually sci-fi or horror elements).
