My name is Travis Darkow, I am 26 years old from Bremerton Washington where I currently live with my wife and our dog Jax. I have had a passion for writing and creating since I was very young. I was always writing stories, usually about aliens or monsters, or making my own little comic books. As I got older I never stopped writing, all through school I took as many writing courses as I could and my passion only grew over the years. I enjoy all aspects of writing. I write poetry, I love writing and playing music, and have written fifty to a hundred original songs. I have about a dozen or so children's books that I have written as well. My greatest passion though is film. I absolutely fell in love with movies when I was a kid, and found that my absolute favorite thing in the world is writing and directing films. I've written, directed and edited around two dozen short films since the seventh grade, and in June 2019 I completed my first feature length horror/sci-fi film called Goodbye Tomorrow. I am currently writing and directing short and feature length original films, as well as developing an ever expanding list of original pilots and feature length screenplays that I have been hard at work writing. Crafting stories and creating whole new worlds that didn't exist before has always brought me much joy. It is truly my favorite thing in the world and I will never stop creating.
Unique traits: I am a screenwriter, as well as a filmmaker. I started making short films in 7th grade, and since then I have written, directed, started in, and edited around 2 dozen short films. I have been having quite a good streak with my shorts on the festival circuits, and recently completed my first feature length horror/sci-fi film called Goodbye Tomorrow.
Jakob's Cove Mystery ⋄ Horror Detective Victor Jameson is sent to a sleepy seaside town to investigate a rising number of mysterious disappearances. The oddities in these cases begin to stack up, as otherworldly creatures run amok just on the outskirts of human perception. Circumstances find Jameson teaming up with a young boy, and a tough as nails diner waitress, in an attempt to stop the monsters, and ultimately, the cosmic being that commands them.
How Did We Get Here? Comedy Francis, a pessimist, and Chester, a happy go lucky pot head, struggle with two jobs they hate, all while Chester bounces his insane ideas off of Francis on how to get themselves out of their jobs. The only problem? One lacks motivation, and the other is almost always stoned. Francis drives a septic truck, and Chester works at a second hand sex toy store. How could it get any worse?
