About Tennyson

Tennyson E. Stead is a master screenwriter, a director, a worldbuilder, and an emerging leader in New Hollywood. Supported by a lifetime of stagework, a successful film development and finance career, and a body of screenwriting encompassing more than 50 projects, Stead is best known for writing an edgy film industry satire called Making the GAMP for director Michael Wohl, as well as a dark future gladiator tentpole film called Atlas Uprising for Endgame Entertainment. When Stead is not writing for film and television, doctoring screenplays, or working in the Los Angeles theater scene, he's developing a gaming and transmedia property called "Jump Rangers" about kid space commandos, fighting the alien dinosaur empire that invaded Earth to give humanity's refugees a future among the stars.
